The museum presents itself as an institution aiming to strengthen the bond between the Florentine Historical Soccer history and contemporary activities of the city soccer club. The presence of the adjacent stadium designed by Pierluigi Nervi interferes with the project; the ratio scale is problematic as the relation between the architectural languages. So the solution consist of a compact, solitary and elementary volume, proud at the same time of its presence, like the typical Florentine architectures. The shape is a curve and interprets the themes of circularity typical of sports facilities, of football, of soccer ball with its flights and trajectories.
