Florence Stadium, a home for many

Thirty Years: Florence - Udine, one of the first games from the stadium hosted

not for nothing that it says" the home team. " The city stadium, in fact, is a real home for the players and the fans in home games that will "live" passionately. The fate of a stadium - a stadium that house called - is a favorite place to be beyond consideration. Amato not so much for what it is, not so much for what it offers, but simply for what it represents: the home. The team's home and his fans.

A classic example? The stadium in Florence entitled to Artemio F RANC hi and designed by the famous architect Pier Luigi Nervi . Well, the stadium in Florence dating back to 1931 when it was created and represented an extraordinary example of reinforced concrete construction. The newspapers called it "a work rich, powerful and courageous " and, apart from the obligatory rhetoric of the time, there is no doubt that the plant, then headed to Giuseppe Berta, represented an exclamation point in 'sports architecture. Nervi was 40 years old when he was given the task and could only boast of a previous survey: the design of Theatre Augusteo of Naples. With the stadium in Florence made in the field of Mar you , Piazza d'Armi dating from the days of Florence capital, Nervi created something new (bold grandstand, the spiral staircases The plasticity of the complex, the agility of the Tower of Marathon ) that defined an era in the construction of reinforced concrete and that this should not be forgotten, also had the handicap - brilliantly - to be brought to term not all together, but so-called "progressive", meaning a project that could also be amended if funding had not been sufficient.

The Tower of Marathon stands out in the summer sky

"The work rich, powerful and courageous " was one of the most beautiful stadiums in Europe 's, later had the honor of fair be recognized national monument tion, and guests - it is a multipurpose facility - not just football matches and the Fiorentina Nazi onal , but also races athletics, the Giro d'Italy, boxing matches, baseball games, gymnastics performances.

The passing of time and the resulting actions on the structure, at the appropriate World Cup in 1990 with the safety standards imposed by ' Uefa, have affected the appearance of the stadium taking away certain features without adding much in terms comfort. The plant has been discovered, apart from the grandstand, and on rainy days the discomfort of the audience are obvious. In addition the new security rules surrounding the structure removed and the area railings not to mention that, once in the suburbs, it is completely Once transformed, while the presence of the graced the stage and even the proud ("I live in the area of \u200b\u200bthe stadium " said the Florentine with a tone that emphasized the quiet of the place), now confronted with significant dis ease .

Yet, despite it has become inconvenient, no parking, no cover, with poor visibility of corners and despite only retain glimpses of ancient beauty (the tower of Marathon), stage of Pier Luigi Nervi - which has so many things seen and many I can tell - is so common property of the citizens and their shared memory to be "forgiven" for wrinkles and defects that now shows. It is no longer what it once was, but it is still the home of all.
