Serie A will get its first woman
referee this August when 32-year-old Livorno-born sociology
graduate Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi is added to the roster for
the top two flights of the Italian league.
Ferrieri Caputi has already officiated at a Serie B match and
last December became the first woman to ref an Italian Cup tie
featuring a Serie A side, Cagliari.
On the latter occasion she disallowed three goals.
