I haven't actually played this setup yet, I have to get an alternate name list and decide whether I want fictional players or use the real guys there. In fictional leagues I usually set the Italian league (and the Dutch league, FWIW) PCMs similar to those of the Mexican League so that some players are more useful in tournament play and more likely to filter into the MLB over time. There's a good 156 game schedule for two 5 team subleagues, so that's how these are set up.

Some may be surprised to see Rome and Nettuno in the "Southern" league; it's a bit of a fictional choice. If you ask people from Lombardia (Milan) or Piemonte (Torino), they think of Rome as southern. On the other hand, one time I talked to a lady from Sicily who thought I was from the "north" even though I've studied mostly with a teacher from Napoli

I mentioned that to a friend from Milano and she said "well to Sicilians everyone is from the north!" Anyway, with the cities I chose to fill out 10 teams they fit this setup very well; if you change the real Serie A baseball teams you can pick and choose since there's only one division.
