The little provincial club have ended a century-long wait for a spot in Serie A, just 15 years after facing complete extinction.
Carpi has secured promotion to Italy's Serie A after a 100-year wait, with its scoreless draw with Bari on Tuesday ensuring the town with a population of around 70,000 will play top-flight football next season.
The city can fit its entire population into San Siro with room to spare. It’s a scenario the Comune’s inhabitants couldn’t have dared dream of some 15 years ago when bankruptcy forced the club to rebrand from A.C. Carpi to Carpi F.
