ACF Fiorentina Hall of Fame explained

This is a list of ACF Fiorentina players who have been inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.

History and regulations

ACF Fiorentina's Hall of Fame has been launched in 2012, resulting from a collaboration between ACF Fiorentina and Museo Fiorentina.^[1] Fiorentina has been the first Italian football club to launch such initiative.^[2]

The award is given to players, managers, sporting directors, staff members, and historical supporters who have significantly marked the club's history. The inductees are selected by Museo Fiorentina and voted by a jury elected by the Collegio del Marzocco. The recipient are rewarded with the Marzocco Viola award, a statuette designed by the artist Marco Cantini and made by the silversmith Federico Sassoli. Portraits of the recipients are also made by Claudio Sacchi.^[3]

The 2020 edition was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[4]
