Carpi, who will be the 62nd team to have ever played in Serie A, have enjoyed a phenomenal season in Serie B. The club sit at the top of the table with 75 points through 38 fixtures, have scored a league-leading 57 goals, and have conceded a league-best 25 goals.
The accomplishment is made all the more impressive by the fact that Carpi play in the Stadio Sandro Cabassi, a stadium with a capacity of only 4,144.
As Serie A requires that competing sides have a stadium capacity of at least 20,000, it's unclear just where Carpi will play next season.
Cue the "Carpi diem" jokes.
