Firenze, Italy – 30th May 2024 – Prepare for a clash of titans! Iron Imperium,
the clothing brand inspired by history's fiercest warriors and gods, joins forces with the legendary Azzurri Santa Croce of Calcio Storico Fiorentino. This epic partnership is commemorated with an exclusive t-shirt design that will strike fear into the hearts of opponents and ignite the passion of Azzurri fans.
A Descent into the Florentine Inferno
The Iron Imperium x Azzurri Santa Croce t-shirt is a visual masterpiece by Italian artist Salvatore Guadagno (Strab.it) that throws you headfirst into the heart of the Florentine arena. The front of the shirt features a chilling image: Charon, the ferryman of the underworld from Dante's Inferno, stands menacingly against an azzurro background, a symbolic representation of the Azzurri's dominance. Emblazoned above him is the battle cry, the quote that sends shivers down spines: "Guai A Voi Anime Prave!" (Woe to you, wicked souls!).
Dante's Inferno Meets the Florentine Arena: Iron Imperium's T-Shirt Ignites Calcio Storico Passion
On the back of the t-shirt, the rest of the quote unfolds: "Non isperate mai veder lo cielo: i’ vegno per menarvi a l’altra riva ne le tenebre etterne, in caldo e ’n gelo" (Hope never to see the sky again: I come to take you to the other shore, into the eternal darkness, into the heat and the ice). This chilling utterance, spoken by Charon to Dante and Virgil in Inferno, perfectly captures the spirit of the Azzurri. They are the harbingers of defeat, the last vision opponents see before their metaphorical descent into the fiery pits of loss.
Calcio Storico: A Legacy of Grit and Glory
Calcio Storico Fiorentino is no ordinary sport. It's a brutal and captivating blend of football (soccer) and medieval warfare, steeped in centuries of tradition.

The electrifying atmosphere of Piazza Santa Croce will be a crucible where history is written anew, and the Azzurri will undoubtedly be fuelled by the unwavering support of their fans.
Unity in Strength and Glory
The design is further bolstered by the official Azzurri Santa Croce logo prominently displayed on the front, a symbol of their legacy and fighting spirit. On the back, the Iron Imperium logo completes the picture, signifying the unwavering support of the brand. This is more than just a clothing collaboration; it's a meeting of minds, a union of unwavering spirits.
