A volume that traces the history of football in Florence from 1898 until today. 528 pages accompanied by about 2000 images and 10,000 tables, together with numerous anecdotes and connecting texts that explain the different phases of football evolution in the city of the lily. All the pre-Fiorentina (FBC Firenze, Itala, CS Firenze, Libertas, GEA, Italausonia, Fiorenza) with the almost complete registry of the pioneers, followed, starting from the first race held on Monday 20 September 1926 with the Signa 1914, match played by the purple team between the championship, the Italian Cup and international events, team B, Primavera at the Viareggio tournament and even all the friendlies, Italian and foreign. Then there is the dictionary of the players who have worn the purple shirt at least once at an official level with relative photos, registry offices, appearances and goals. In short, a sort of grand-ducal football bible, a real act of love for football and for Fiorentina.
