Fan marks 'death of football'

An Italian football fan has started putting up a grave every time his team loses a major match.

Inter Milan fan Massimo Pecorino, 52, has so far erected more than 20 gravestones on a local mountainside.

He says grave mistakes can only be marked by a grave where he buries his hopes and dreams, near his home town of Cortona.

Pecorino said: "Instead of enjoying a celebration I felt like I was at a funeral, so I spent the day carving out my fury on a stone."
