The appointment with the Volleyball Italian National Team represents for Firenze, a city with a huge volleyball tradition, a really important moment. Unfortunately these experiences are dated from the exciting experience of the Ruini sports group that between 60’s and 70’s that brought Firenze to 5 shields. Nevertheless, Firenze has always participated with great enthusiasm and frame of public in the national and international events recently proposed. The President of the Italian Volleyball Federation Mr. Carlo Magri has taken any occasion and we are very grateful to him for giving to our city the opportunity to live such important volleyball events.
The coach of our National Team Mr. Giampaolo Montali feels affection for Firenze and he has never made a secret of being a particular supporter of our soccer team club Fiorentina.
With this aim, the city of Firenze is going to face a really meaningful event: the match of the Italian National Team against France on 1st June. Thanks to Mr. Elio Sità, President of the FIPAV Regional Committee for the decisive contribution and the liking always shown to the city of Firenze. A special call to the youngest, so that they could approach to the volleyball as particular, exciting and instructive sport that gives to the Italian sport great satisfaction in the highest international and Olympic events.

Florence, in the region of Tuscany, is the main city after which the province is named. It rises on the banks of the Arno in a vast plain surrounded by the Careggi, Fiesole, Settignano, Arcetri and Bellosguardo hills. The river divides the city into two parts.
The local economy is based on tourism, industry (textiles and clothes, metalwork, optics, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, glass and ceramics) and on Florentine handicrafts (embroidery, jewellry, products made from straw).
The climate is temperate but rather variable, with humid and breezy winters characterized by periods of intense cold, and hot and muggy summers.
Founded by the Romans in the first century B.C., "Florentia" reached its highest point of civility between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries, as a Free State, balancing the authority of the Emperors with that of the Popes, overcoming the problems of internal fighting between Guelphs and Ghibellines. In the fifteenth century Florence was ruled by the Signoria of the Medici.
They subsequently became the Granduchy of Tuscany. This was the city's most splendid period, for art, culture, politics and economics. The Granduchy of the Medici was followed by that of the Lorena in the eighteenth century, until in 1860 Tuscany joined the Kingdom of Italy, with Florence as the capital from 1865 to 1871.
The Baptistry is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Some say it was built in the eleventh century; some even say it dates to the fifth century, the site of a Romanesque building. The gothic basilica of Santa Croce, built between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries according to the plans of Arnolfo di Cambio, has a grandious and austere appearance. It is well known because some of the most famous Italians in history are buried here.
