The soundscape of Inter Milan - AC Milan Reportage of a special match, played without its usual sound

It is the first derby in 111 years of history in which Inter Milan and AC Milan play in front of very few spectators. Just over a thousand, among journalists, managers and fans. That's why there is expected to be enthusiasm, grit, passion outside. And indeed there were, before the game, with Rossoneri fans who accompanied the AC Milan coach to San Siro and the Nerazzurri fans who stayed out of the North to incite the team before the game. But before, during and after the race, nothing. 

At the end of the game there was no one around - as well as the whole second half - and the triple whistle in the 95th minute was the last noise of the Milan derby number 111, with the screams of Pioli and team attenuated by the immense silence of the stadium. Between children and runners, perhaps with some "Forza Inter" around, the Milan derby felt like any Tuesday afternoon. But it was the derby.
