Our Proving Grounds (6) Fiorentina

My love affair with Italian football began with the Channel 4 coverage of Serie A. Watching the likes of Batistuta et al all those years ago, I never dreamt that I would be visiting the Stadio Artemio Franchi in later life. I went to the final game of the 2008-09 season (31.05.09) between Fiorentina and AC Milan. The game was notable as being the last game for a number of big names (Maldini, Beckham, Kaka, Ancelotti) and ended in a 2-0 win for AC Milan.
