Glum Italian fans filed away from the ancient Circus Maximus in Rome well before four giant television screens recorded the end of an emphatic 4-0 defeat to Spain in the European Championship final on Sunday.
A disaster, the dream is over, said Claudio Marangoni, 28, a transport worker from Rome who had faded Italian tricolour flags painted on each cheek.
No one expected to end up in the final but to lose like this is humiliating. Tens of thousands of flag waving supporters had packed into the ancient Roman chariot racing arena, the scene of joyous celebrations after Italy's 2-1 victory over Germany in the semi-final on Thursday.
