On 1st November 2024, Palermo will be 124 years old. An anniversary that also legitimate the Rosanero club as one of the oldest in international football. To celebrate this anniversary, Palermo is organising many special initiatives for Rosanero fans.
ROSANERO OPEN DAY
Also this year, on the anniversary day, the ‘Barbera’ will open its doors to its fans for a special free Open Day: an exclusive journey through the stadium’s most iconic places.
From the Palermo Museum to the areas normally closed to the public: the press room, mixed zone, changing rooms, tunnel, sidelines benches and much more.
Today will see the start of the pre-emption phase for 24-25 season ticket holders who, until 28 October, will be able to book their seats free of charge via a special section on Palermo’s website.
The second phase, open to all in the event of seat availability, will instead be active from 29 October onwards.
PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK “AQUILE”
‘Eagles. Il Palermo: il museo, la storia e la città’, a book written by Palermo FC Museum Manager Giovanni Tarantino, will be presented at 16.30 at the “Renzo Barbera” Authority Stand.
This new edition, enlarged and updated to 2023, retraces the more than 120 years of Palermo Calcio’s history through unpublished documents, photographs, jerseys, postcards and archive material kept inside the Palermo Museum.
For the occasion, Giovanni Tarantino will dialogue with Giulio Migliaccio between memories and anecdotes of his Palermo.
During the presentation, an unpublished trophy from Palermo FC’s pioneering phase will also be unveiled, which will become part of the Museum’s exhibition, and a temporary exhibition entitled ‘Palermo 80’s Postcards’ will be inaugurated, with drawings by the English illustrator Peter O’Toole, covering all the shirts of the 1980-90 decade.
Admission is free while places last.
DOCUMENTARY ‘PALERMO SUNRISE
Lastly, to further celebrate the special day for the Rosanero club, ‘Palermo Sunrise’, the original documentary that traces Palermo’s recent history from the club’s rebirth in 2019 to the inauguration of the Palermo CFA last April, will be released on 1 November, with exclusive testimonies from the protagonists and unpublished images.
