Sfumature d’Azzurro

This is an opportunity to see the most beautiful and exciting football memorabilia from the Museo del Calcio in Coverciano.

After the Pinacoteca Civica in Reggio Calabria and the Palazzo Comunale in Spoleto, the Museo Napoleonico has been chosen as a new location for the Museo del Calcio di Coverciano's travelling exhibition project 'Sfumature d'Azzurro'.

On show, the most representative national football team's awards won by the Italian national football team and some valuable memorabilia of its greatest players. A chronological itinerary through the most important moments in the history of the FIGC, including the 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006 World Cups and the 1968 and 2020 European Cups.

It is possible now to admire at close quarters memorabilia, of all kinds, football team shirts, footballs and boots linked to the Azzurri's history, available at the historical headquarters of the Football Museum, which has been located since 1990 inside the Federal Technical Centre in Coverciano.

In the exhibition space a focus on Lazio and Roma players with the blue shirts of De Sisti (1967), Re Cecconi (1974), Giordano (1985), Ancelotti (1986), Casiraghi (1994), Totti (1998), De Rossi (2011) and Pellegrini (2022). But it is not only the shirts that are on display: the footballs used in the 1930s and those from the Berlin finals (2006 World Cup) and the Wembley final of Euro 2020, the boots worn from the 1930s to the present day, the pennants from some historic matches.

Fan-visitors can also relive the 1982 Italy-Germany World Cup final thanks to virtual reality and experience the feeling of being on the pitch, next to Bruno Conti, 'Pablito' Rossi and 'Spillo' Altobelli, or in the stands, between Italian President Pertini and Spanish King Juan Carlos.
