Sandro Mazzola Dies at 83, and the South Counts Its Exports

Sandro Mazzola, the Italian forward who won two European Cups and four Serie A titles in seventeen years with Internazionale, has died aged 83, according to an obituary published by the Guardian. The Guardian described him as a supremely gifted forward who spent his entire club career at a single club.

He also won a World Cup runners-up medal with Italy. The Guardian's obituary is the only wire item on his death, and it does not give a place or cause of death.

Mazzola's career belongs to Milan and to the national shirt. Its beginning belongs to the movement of southerners northward that shaped Italian football for two generations.
