A date that remains in history: 11 July. On the day of the 39th year since the Azzurri’s victory in the World Cup in Spain, Roberto Mancini’s Italy wins Euro2020, his second European on the bulletin board. The Coverciano Football Museum, which collects the history and present of the national team, turns on the blue headlights to illuminate the facade and celebrate success. “In a few hours – explains Matteo Marani, President of the Football Museum – in homage to the Azzurri and their beautiful ride, we will inaugurate a temporary exhibition dedicated to Euro 2020 with the shirts of our players for each match played in this European championship. Calcio di Coverciano celebrates Mancini’s Italy “.

Castiglioncello, Aurelia blocked

A popular holiday resort like Castiglioncello in this period saw thousands of tourists and locals in the square together to party at the triple whistle. Temporarily blocked by supporters the Aurelia in the stretch that passes inside the locality.

Fireworks in Livorno

The Tuscan capital has seen thousands of people pour into the streets at the final whistle. Many were on the big screen at the Parco delle Cascine but many others were on the Arno river, in the various clubs that had organized the viewing of the match. Traffic blocked, smoke bombs and chants for a party that will go on all night.

A historic result, a feat for Mancini’s men who thrilled the country in this truly unforgettable month. A ride game from the groups and then continued until this last epilogue. Not easy, given that it was played in the home of the English. But now the party can begin.

For a very long night, which really will never end. A magical night, like those Magic Nights of the song of the ’90 World Cup, which did not bring Italy the title but which then as today united the country.
