Italian soccer was under a fresh pall Monday after this season's second fan death led to calls for a new crackdown on soccer violence.
The death of 28-year-old Parma fan Matteo Bagnaresi, reportedly crushed by a Juventus coach fleeing onrushing Parma fans at a motorway service station, came six months after Lazio fan Gabriel Sandri was shot by a policeman after a run-in with Juve fans at another service station.
Police have called for a blanket ban on fan travel but clubs are resisting, according to Italian media reports.
Officials will meet at the interior ministry on Monday to decide measures to try to prevent clashes outside stadiums.
A decision on the rescheduling of the Juve-Parma game will be taken Monday with April 16 a possibility.
Sandri's death in November spurred authorities to stiffen security inside stadiums, spurring fans to look for other places to settle differences.
''It's not Italian soccer that has gone crazy, it's the fans. There's security inside the grounds. The problem is outside,'' ex-graftbuster and Infrastructure Minister Antonio Di Pietro said Monday.
''It isn't possible to avert these incidents. You'd have to put a policeman on every fan,'' said Di Pietro, who made his name as a spearhead of the Clean Hands corruption probes.
Media reports said Bagnaresi, a leftwing university graduate in job safety, had just completed a three-year stadium ban for a rumble at a match with Juventus. More than 20 travel bans have been issued this season, most of them after Sandri's death.
Bagnaresi's death overshadowed events on the field where leaders Inter and second-placed Roma both claimed draws to leave an unchanged four-point gap at the top and European champs AC Milan lost to further dampen their hopes of claiming a Champions League berth.
Juve are third in Serie A, seven points behind Roma and five ahead of Fiorentina.
Udinese leapfrogged Milan into fifth place. Sampdoria joined the Milanese in sixth, a point behind Udinese and four adrift of Fiorentina. Security at Rome's Olympic Stadium has been tightened for Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester United.
Police are being careful to avoid a repetition of clashes which brought allegations of police heavy-handedness at the same stage last year.
