Italian Immigration and Sports in the Iron-producing Basin of Briey (1900–43)

Before 1914, the practice of sports by the Italian immigrants living in the Briey Basin of Lorraine was confined to cycle racing. Through this sport, these immigrants would cultivate their dreams of turning professional. After the First World War, and upon their return to the Briey Basin, these Italian immigrants would go on creating their own sports clubs (cycling, football, rugby). These clubs would up to 1934 become targets for Mussolini's propaganda. From the early days of the Popular Front in 1936, we can clearly discern a substantial rise in the integration through sports of Italian immigrants. This phenomenon was fostered by Leon Blum's governmental leisure policy. During the Second World War, in spite of Italy's alliance with Germany, Italian immigrants would continue integrating into French society. This was achieved through the patronage of the Catholic Church and mainly within the sponsored teams dominating sports in Lorraine.
