Livorno in maroon: identity, passion and comebacks — now in Subbuteo scale

Among the most distinctive releases in our Subbuteo La Leggenda collection, Livorno holds a special place: a unique maroon kit, a century‑long story and a powerful bond with the city and the Armando Picchi stadium. In this article we revisit the club’s defining moments and explain why the miniature edition deserves room in your display (and on your green baize).

From the origins to a maroon identity

Founded in 1915, the club from Livorno featured among the sides present around the dawn of the single‑group Serie A. Promotions, restructurings and new starts have followed over time, but the amaranto identity has remained constant—instantly recognisable across Italy and beyond.

Home in maroon: the Armando Picchi Stadium

The Ardenza ground has been Livorno’s home since the 1930s. With rationalist lines and a history of renovations, it’s a supporter‑friendly stadium: compact sightlines, an intimate feel close to the pitch and a nickname that, for the romantics, still simply means “home”.

The 2000s high point: back to Serie A and European nights

After a long climb, Livorno returned to Serie A in the mid‑2000s, finishing ninth in their first season back and qualifying for UEFA Cup football. In those years the Amaranto faced European opponents of real pedigree, writing a chapter the fans still remember with pride.

Standout symbol of that period: Cristiano Lucarelli, who carried the team with a capocannoniere season and a love for the shirt that became part of the club’s identity narrative.
