Italian Cricket Championship Clubs
Fair warning: I generated enough in OOTP to have 16 teams if expansion is ever on the cards. I've only selected 8 for now, though.
Catania CCFiorentina CCGenoa CFCNapoli CC

Il Verde, Catania - Poor.
The definition of a village cricket ground. The groundsman spends most of his time checking football results.
Cosmo Parco, Fiorentina - Poor.
Surrounded on three sides by trees, and on one side by 17th-century architecture. A candidate for the world's most costly 6?
Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genoa - Excellent
Unlike the other seven clubs, Genoa (or at least a version of them) actually exist. Makes finding a ground pic easier.
Campo Rurale, outside Naples - Normal
No room was found in Naples for a ground, so instead the team plays in what used to be a wheat farm an hour from the city.
Milano CCRoma CCTurin CCVeneto CC

Stadio Berlusconi, Milan - Excellent.
Milan are bankrolled by a certain political figure who also bought their new international stadium's naming rights.
Stadio Olimpico, Roma - Normal.
(The big boundaries hinder batsmen, but due to its dual purpose nature, the track is usually flat.)
La Ovale, Turin- Normal.
Some say they stole this name from the British, as they did with their football team colours.
Aquaparco, Venice - Poor.
Veneto officials had to get... creative to make a usable pitch in the city. Please ignore that the picture is of a football field in Singapore.

The three international stadiums to start will be Florence, Milan and Roma. A popular legend in Italian cricket is that Venice was originally likely instead of Florence, but the WCC failed to approve a floating pitch.

* Falcon was born in Spain but is a naturalised Italian citizen.
^ Velez is Mexican. He's fair game for any MX manager to select.
# Martin was born in Ireland but is a naturalised Italian citizen.
