Why Fiorentina
Fiorentina are not a spare club. They are Italy Serie A, Stadio Artemio Franchi, and 100 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.
You get a nickname
Known as {{Plainlist| *I Viola (The Purples / The Violets) *I Gigliati (The Lilies). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR) is about 7km from the ground, and Firenze Campo di Marte railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following Italy Serie A means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Italy becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1926 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
