Antonio Damato will be in charge of the Derby della Lanterna this weekend between Genoa and Sampdoria.
The match officials for the fifth week of Serie A have been confirmed, with Damato handed the most eye-catching clash for Sunday evening.
The referee has a 3-3-7 record in games with Genoa, amongst them the controversial match lost at Lazio 4-2 in 2011.
He doesn’t have a positive record with Sampdoria either having seen out the Blucerchiati winners in only two occasions from eight.
One of those two victories dates back to 2010 when Samp took the Olimpico by storm in a decisive game for the Scudetto and let Jose Mourinho’s Inter pip Roma to the top.
