Football is almost a religion for Italians who worship players as pagans and as such they are worshiped when they perform miracles on the pitch. The ritual does not take place in silence but from the stands, in the houses, in the squares, cheering choirs, shouts of joy or disappointment, because, despite the fact that the official coach is one, every Italian feels able to take his place! This tradition has been more or less the same for more than 100 years, that is, since 1898, the year of the foundation of the FIGC, the Italian football federation, which has its headquarters in Coverciano.
On this tour we will go to visit this center at the foot of the Florentine hills, considered the real home of the Azzurri who retreat here before the official matches. We will visit the prestigious technical center by entering the training fields and talking about the history of the national team and its successes.
