“…Alegi & Elsey, 2016, p. 5), mostrando talvolta un'eccessiva fiducia nei confronti di queste fonti, che devono essere sottoposte a un processo di interpretazione, anziché essere accettate senza alcun tipo di filtro, considerate le diverse intenzioni dei giornalisti rispetto agli storici nell'esercizio della loro professione (cfr. Day & Vamplew, 2015, p. 1717. In questo caso, tuttavia, pur avendo usufruito della collezione del bollettino ufficiale dell'Inief, è stato possibile approfondire le tematiche in oggetto studiando le carte custodite presso gli Archivi Provinciali e di Stato dei capoluoghi italiani, ove avevano sede i comitati locali dell'Istituto di Lucchini.…”

“…Gli storici dello sport, secondo l'auspicio di Day e Vamplew, devono essere consapevoli degli sviluppi teorici, concettuali e metodologici in altre aree (cfr. Day & Vamplew, 2015, pp. 1722-1723: seguendo questo suggerimento, la metodologia adoperata in questo contributo si ispira al modello tracciato da Camurri applicandolo alla dimensione formativa, laddove egli invitava i ricercatori ad approfondire i meccanismi di funzionamento sui quali si basa il rapporto tra centro e periferia del sistema politico 1 , in un'ottica di condizionamento reciproco: «lo studio dei canali di mediazione e delle modalità di integrazione delle élites periferiche al centro della vita politica del paese sono di fondamentale importanza per la storia politica e sociale dell'Italia liberale» (Camurri, 2009, p. 15).…”

The current research focuses on the development of urban elites in Italy at the beginning of the 20th century. Between 1906 and 1923 the National Institute for the Increase of Physical Education aimed at involving the leading groups of Italian cities in the promotion of physical activities by setting up local Committees. Thus, the goal of this study is to evaluate to what extent the Institute founded by jurist Luigi Lucchini contributed to integrate local élites with the system of sport and gymnastics values promoted at national level by State institutions such as school and army. The research extends to the topic of elites’ education the methodology outlined by Camurri (2009). The author argues that researchers should focus on all those processes that contributed to link central and local political institutions in order to point out bilateral influences existing between the 19th and 20th centuries. According to Camurri, a full understanding of Italian political and social history must analyse a variety of central-local relations. This article investigates the role of the National Institute for the Increase of Physical Education as it emerges from the correspondence between its central offices and local Committees and the magazine of the Institute. The letters analysed have been collected in local Archives, whereas the magazine was published between 1907 and 1912. As a provisional conclusion, the article provides evidence of how important further research on the education processes of Italian elites could be, as stated by Gaudio (2018, p. 9).

“…By interpreting the data, a more nuanced image of the development in the numbers of migrant footballers in national teams at the World Cup 1930-2018 is provided and made it possible to compare data on migrant footballers over time in terms of identifying trends and possible outliers. 68 The two approaches to migrant footballers illustrate that critically engaging with the intricacies of counting and mapping migration is crucial. Different conceptualizations of the term 'migrant' produce different outcomes.…”

Although there is a common belief that more footballers are representing countries other than their native ones in recent World Cup editions, a historical overview on migrant footballers representing national teams is lacking. To fill this gap, a database consisting of 10,137 football players who participated in the World Cup (1930Cup ( -2018 was created. To count the number of migrant footballers in national teams over time, we critically reflect on the term migrant and the commonly used foreignborn proxies in mainstream migration research. A foreign-born approach to migrants overlooks historical-geopolitical changes like the redrawing of international boundaries and colonial relationships, and tends to shy away from citizenship complexities, leading to an overestimation of the number of migrant footballers in a database. Therefore, we offer an alternative approach that through historical contextualization with an emphasis on citizenship, results in more accurate data on migrant footballerscontextualnationality approach. By comparing outcomes, a foreign-born approach seems to indicate an increase in the volume of migrant footballers since the mid-1990s, while the contextual-nationality approach illustrates that the presence of migrant footballers is primarily a reflection of trends in international migration.

“…Regarding research methods used in this paper, as historical sources of any kind only provide a fragmented and partial view of the past, they should be just the point of access to that past, which must be completed with other reliable sources. This is what Day and Vamplew (2015) call the process of "complementarity, synergy and triangulation." As these authors assume, the process of converting the past into history involves finding data, judging their validity, and accurately presenting them through a historical narrative.…”

“…Following an initial analysis of the socio-political context, especially involving sports, as well as of main concepts such as youth and war, we offer a chronologically coherent narrative (Day and Vamplew, 2015) to gain legitimate knowledge of society, moving away from simply reporting data but developing understanding of social phenomena through an adequate contextualization of biographical narratives (Oldfield, 2015). We will analyze Antonio Cánovas' life as a child before the civil war, as a soldier during the conflict, as a refugee and a prisoner after the war, as a militant communist in adulthood, but above all as a popular sportsman during his entire lifetime.…”
