A history written in the stands.
The groups, generations and names that shaped Fiorentina’s organised support, from the clubs of the 1960s to Unonoveduesei.
VIOLAPEDIA / HERITAGE
Curva Fiesole names both a stand and a shared identity. Its history brings together independent groups, supporters’ clubs and fans without formal membership. Not every Viola Club is an ultras group, and no single banner represents all Fiorentina supporters. This selection reflects historical significance: there is no reliable, current membership census from which to rank the groups by size.
One of the pioneering Viola Clubs, it recalls how organised support in Florence grew from local ties before the ultras movement developed. Histories of those beginnings place it alongside Settebello, but the two organisations should not be confused. [1]
The club’s own history gives its foundation date as 3 July 1965. Its name recalls the number seven and Julinho and Hamrin. The account describes beginnings in via de’ Renai, away trips and choosing Fiesole partly for affordable tickets. This is a valuable participants’ perspective, rather than a neutral history of the entire movement. [2]
The historical group associated with Stefano Biagini, known as Pompa, belongs to Florence’s first ultras generation. Its name is not interchangeable with all later groups. Its chronology and supporters’ memories illustrate the shift from supporters’ associations towards more structured terrace support. [3]
For over three decades CAV was a major Fiesole banner. Its own statement establishes the end of the organisation: dissolution was agreed unanimously on 5 February 2011 and announced two days later. That break should be preserved when describing the generations that followed. [5]
A recognisable name in more recent Fiesole history, also styled Marasma 1993. Sources document participation in shared projects and public views on the club’s management. Its presence reminds us that the history of the stand cannot be reduced to a single dominant banner. [6], [8]
The name spells out 1926, Fiorentina’s foundation year. Founded in 2011, the group belongs to the generation of organised support following CAV’s dissolution. The histories remain distinct: following an earlier group in time does not establish formal continuity as the same organisation. [4]
The 1960s were primarily about association, away trips and neighbourhood ties. The later ultras movement gave support a more coordinated form. Separate identities did not rule out cooperation: Settebello describes the 2005/06 Progetto Curva Fiesole as an initiative involving several groups. The stand’s strength also depended on working beyond any one banner. [8]
A display is collective work: an idea, materials and the coordination of thousands of people. Flags identify groups, while singing also involves supporters who belong to none. Remembering past members and maintaining a presence at away games can matter just as much. This perspective helps explain terrace culture without reducing it to incidents or the headcount behind a flag.
ACCVC, the Associazione Centro Coordinamento Viola Clubs, brings together a network of supporters’ clubs and celebrated its sixtieth anniversary in 2025. It is distinct from an individual ultras group. A coordinating association is not interchangeable with Curva Fiesole, a distinction that matters when attributing statements and supporters’ initiatives. [7]
Dissolution dates are given where a source confirms them. Other dates indicate a beginning, without suggesting that membership or organisational continuity has remained unchanged. Terrace history includes disagreements and generational shifts; one group’s views or behaviour should not be attributed to the entire community.
