Facts and practical information

The Stadio Artemio Franchi is an emblematic sports venue nestled in the heart of Florence, Italy. Renowned for its distinctive architecture and historical significance, this stadium has been a fixture of Italian football since its inauguration in 1931. It serves as the home ground for ACF Fiorentina, the city's beloved football club, and has a seating capacity of approximately 43,000 spectators.

Designed by the revered Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi, the Stadio Artemio Franchi is celebrated for its innovative use of reinforced concrete and its unique tower, known as the "Tower of Marathon," which stands as an iconic feature of the stadium's façade. The venue's design reflects the modernist movement of the early 20th century and is considered an architectural marvel within the sporting world.

Over the years, the Stadio Artemio Franchi has hosted numerous high-profile events, including international football matches, Italian Cup Finals, and it was one of the venues for the 1934 FIFA World Cup and the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Its historical and cultural value extends beyond football, encapsulating the spirit and passion of Florentine sports fans.

The stadium is not only a place for sports enthusiasts but also attracts architecture aficionados and curious visitors looking to experience a piece of Florence's contemporary history. While it maintains much of its original charm, there have been discussions about renovations to modernize the facilities while preserving its architectural integrity.
