Serie A scoring leader Antonio Di Natale has been banned two games for criticizing and threatening the referee after Udinese's 2-1 loss to Bologna. Di Natale, who scored Saturday to raise his season tally to 11 goals, was not carded for his protests. Bologna won with a penalty from Marco Di Vaio in the 66th minute. Livorno captain Cristiano Lucarelli also received a two-game ban Monday from the Italian league for protests in a 2-0 loss to Chievo Verona, after getting sent off in the first half. Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho and Atalanta counterpart Antonio Conte were handed one-game bans ahead of their clubs' meeting this weekend.
