Venue
The Stadio Artemio Franchi has been home to Fiorentina ever since it opened in 1931. Designed by the architect Pier Luigi Nervi, it had a connection that the football club is not to proud of nowadays as it was named after a Florentine facist called Giovanni Berta. Though it was opened in 1931 the building of it wasn’t actually finished until the following year. As for the stadium’s tenants, ACF Fiorentina is in the unusual position of being able to celebrate two birthdays. The club was originally founded on the 29th of August 1926 but was re-founded after it went bankrupt in 2002. Even so, only four clubs in Italian football have spent longer in the top-tier than the Viola.
