Atalanta vs. AC Milan 1989/90: Comments on the Chants

An audio work by Davide Tidoni. In Atalanta vs. AC Milan 1989/90: Comments on the Chants (2025), Stefano Pozzoni – a former member of the Brigate Rossonere, one of AC Milan’s ultras groups – comments on chants sung by AC Milan supporters during the Atalanta–AC Milan match on September 6, 1989. The chants were recorded by an unknown supporter and reached us through their publication in the first issue of Encré dans la tribune, a French fanzine on ultras culture. Drawing on these recordings, Pozzoni explores the meanings behind the chant's words and melodies and reflects on how they were used in their social and cultural context. His account offers insight into the relationship between chanting practices, social composition, and the habitus of AC Milan’s ultras groups in the late 1980s.

Davide Tidoni is an artist and researcher interested in the relational dimension of listening, and in the physical experience of sound. He works with live performance, intervention, audio recording, video and guided listening, and published a sound ethnography on the ultras group BRESCIA 1911.
