history

Thanks to a donation from Cavaliere Joseph Rubbi, a football pitch with changing rooms and mounds of earth was built as a grandstand on Via Campo Sportivo in 1927 . Years later, due to the rise of fascism and the Second World War, gaming operations were stopped. After the end of the war, the association's activities were resumed on May 15, 1945.
