The day of sport and entertainment will begin at 4pm with a youth tournament and continue with the match at 6pm, which will see Giuseppe Rossi's former teammates on the pitch, united to celebrate his extraordinary career.

With an eye on the new generations and the traditions of Florence, the show will also be ensured by the extraordinary participation of the Street Clerks, the famous Florentine rock group, and by the performance of the Historical Parade of the Florentine Republic and the Calcio Storico Fiorentino.
