Season points use that season’s own scoring, two for a win before 1994-95 and three from it; the bars use match points so the whole series is comparable.The rating only starts telling you much after about 1960. Before that, knowing the era’s home-and-away split is almost as good as knowing the teams.

1945-46 table not final: two regional groups (Alta Italia, Centro-Sud) plus a final round.
