Sports Tourism in Florence: Firenze Marathon and Much More
Let`s begin with Fiorentina, then. Founded in August 1926, it has won 2 Italian championships, 6 Coppa Italia and 1 Italian Supercup. Moreover, having won the Cup Winners Cup in the season 1960-1961, Fiorentina was the first Italian team to win a European competition.
The "Viola", as its supporters call Fiorentina, plays its home matches at the "Artemio Franchi" stadium. Nowadays surrounded by the Florentine villas and palaces in the district of Campo di Marte, it was built in the early 1930s according to a (for the time) revolutionary design by engineer Nervi.
As far as running and walking competitions are concerned, certainly the most important are the Firenze Marathon (taking place every year in November), the Guarda Firenze (this non-competitive race is held in May) and the Notturna di San Giovanni (which takes place in June, the day of Florence patron saint, in the evening).
What runners appreciate the most is the opportunity to run between the Florentine historical residences and villas. So, if you are a football fan or a runner and you dream of sporty holidays, why do not you look for an apartment in Florence?
