Episode Notes

Florence is a cultural center, not just for Italy but for the world. For all it’s importance, Florence is also a relatively small city and Fiorentina is its only soccer club. The club has experienced a few rebirths over its history. One by force of hand by a new owner in 1980 and another through bankruptcy in 2002, which led to the their crest becoming the most expensive logo in European football. Their trophy case is anything but bare, and they found the most success in the 1950s and 60s. There is no shortage of history, great characters, and cameos through the years at Fiorentina.
