Italy III Division Group A

Third Division – Serie C/1. Two groups of 18 teams, the top 2 teams in each group – promoted; the last 3 – relegated. Eventually, relegation became more complicated because of various events.

Girone A.

Sanremese – last with 17 points and relegated.

Varese – 17th with 26 points and relegated.

Pavia – 16th with 27 points and relegated.

Rimini – 15th with 30 points, but because of worse head-to-head results against Fano. Relegated originally, but because Perugia was directly relegated from 2nd to 4th Division, Rimini was reinstated. Lucky survival.

Fano – 14th with 30 points, thanks to better head-to-head results against Rimini.

Carrarese – 13th with 31 points.

R. M. Firenze – 12th with 31 points.

Legnano – 11th with 31 points.

Trento – 10th with 31 points.

Prato – 9th with 33 points.

Ancona – 8th with 33 points.

Padova – 7th with 36 points.

SPAL – 6th with 38 points.

Virescit – 5th with 39 points.

Reggiana – 4th with 40 points.

Piacenza – 3rd with 45 points.

Modena – 2nd with 47 points and promoted to Serie B.

Parma – champions of Serie C/1 Girone A with 47 points. Goal-difference placed them above Modena and they won the championship, but it was of little import at that time. Yet, this was the beginning of the climb of Parma to eventual world fame. Hard to imagine at the real time.
