The Derby della Madonnina, named after the Madonnina statue on top of the Milan Cathedral), also known as the Derby di Milano (in English: Milan Derby), is an historic match between the two prominent clubs in the city, Inter Milan and AC Milan, the most successful in Italian Football History.

In the past, Inter Milan was seen as the club of the Milan bourgeoisie, a Milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas Milan was supported mainly by the working class, nicknamed casciavid, meaning "screwdriver", with reference to the Blue-collar workers. Due to their more prosperous ancestry, Inter fans had the "luxury" to go to the San Siro stadium by motorcycle (motoretta, another nickname given to the Nerazzurri). On the other hand, the Rossoneri were also known as tramvee or tranvee (i.e. able to be transferred to the stadium only by "tram", or public transport). Today, this socio-economic divide has largely been mitigated and preference for either club is personal or familial.

Taking place at least twice during the year via the league fixtures, this cross-town rivalry has extended to the Coppa Italia, Champions League and SuperCoppa Italiana, as well as minor tournaments and friendlies. It is one of the only major crosstown derbies in association football that are always played in the same stadium, in this case the San Siro, as both Inter and AC Milan call San Siro "home". Though both clubs share this stadium, Inter ultras traditionally occupy the stadium’s northern end (Curva Nord) while Milan ultras occupy the southern end (Curva Sud).
