The four Serie A matches scheduled to take place on Monday have
been postponed to a later date following the death of Pope Francis, the Italian
top flight said in a statement.
Udinese's game at Torino, Fiorentina's visit to Cagliari, Genoa's
match against Lazio and Juventus' trip to Parma will be rescheduled.
The games will have to fit into a congested finish to the season,
potentially clashing with the Champions League semi-finals.
The Vatican said Pope Francis, a keen football fan, died aged 88
on Monday.
