The Pitti Immagine show this June will be full of excitement and awash with a wave of energy. "Pitti Lemon" has been chosen as the theme for both the advertising campaign and the displays at the Fortezza, bringing to life all that is summery, sunny, and refreshing, very much like the U.S. Polo Assn. SS25 Collection.
THE EVENT
On Wednesday, June 12, U.S. Polo Assn. will be presenting a historic Firenze Polo Tribute at Santa Croce Square, a friendly but competitive arena-style match between the Italian and French National Teams. This is the very first time that a polo game will be played in the ancient square, supported by the Italian and French Federations, the Federation of International Polo (FIP) as well as the Municipality of Florence.
The momentous polo game will be preceded by the Calcio Storico Legends Match, which celebrates Florentine Tradition. The Calcio Storico Fiorentino is a combination of soccer, rugby, and wrestling that originated in 16th-century Florence and is played today in authentic costume in the Piazza Santa Croce, located directly in front of the Santa Croce church. A spectacular Florentine parade through Piazza della Signoria to the playing field will open the event. Once arriving at the Piazza Santa Croce, a significant ceremony will follow where the Magnifico Messere will be appointed. The evening will conclude with a private cocktail party following the games at Fondazione Zeffirelli headquarters in Piazza San Firenze.
The parade, the Calcio Storico Legends Match, and the Firenze Polo Tribute are open to the public.
U.S. Polo Assn. will outfit the polo players, kickers, and flag wavers with U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirts for the parade. Custom U.S. Polo Assn. performance team jerseys will be designed for both the Italian and French National Teams. Additionally, custom "Firenze Polo Tribute 2024" caps will also be given out to the thousands of sports fans who will attend.
THE PITTI SHOW
Join U.S. Polo Assn. from June 11-14 at Booth 32 Cavaniglia, where the multi-billion-dollar sports brand will showcase its Spring-Summer Collection 2025, celebrating the brand's heritage in the sport of polo since 1890. See the collection in an immersive digital setting that brings to life the spirit of the Collection, which includes classic, sport-inspired apparel, shoes, bags, and accessories.
Media will be invited for meet and greets Wednesday, June 12 beginning at 10:30 a.m. Representing U.S. Polo Assn. will be J. Michael Prince, the President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and oversees the $2.4 billion U.S. Polo Assn. brand across 190 countries, and Incom CEO Lorenzo Nencini. Incom is U.S. Polo Assn.'s Italian Apparel Licensee.
Prince, who will be receiving the Magnifico Messere recognition at the June 12 Santa Croce Procession, said, "It's an incredible honor to be receiving the Magnifico Messere by the Florentines, and something I will cherish forever. I have always loved Florence and now my bond with this very special city only deepens."
"I am delighted to again be here in Florence representing U.S. Polo Assn. at the greatest industry trade show in the world with my outstanding partners Incom, Bonis, EastLab, and EuroTrade, who bring the very best of what our global brand has to offer to Europe," added Prince. "U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to be hosting the historic Firenze Polo Tribute at Santa Croce in partnership with the City of Florence, the Italian and French Federations, and the historic Calcio Storico di Firenze. This Pitti week event is not to be missed."
Florentine by birth, Lorenzo Nencini joined the family company, Incom, based in Montecatini Terme, in his early twenties. When Incom and U.S. Polo Assn. entered their licensing arrangement at the end of 2007, Nencini, as CEO, became responsible for the partnership that has helped both Incom and U.S. Polo Assn. become a great success story in Western Europe. Nencini served on the Pitti Immagine Board of Directors in 2023.
"We have managed to do something very unique, because polo, like Calcio Fiorentino, has ancient roots and similarities. Being able to bring these two sports together here in Florence is something extraordinary, thanks to Calcio Storico and the city of Florence," said Nencini. "During the time of Pitti Uomo, the FISE, FFS and U.S. Polo Assn. are now guests of one of the most beautiful squares in the world, Santa Croce. While polo is played in prestigious locations, never in such an important historic city center like Florence. Both games will be spectacular events to watch."
"I'd like to thank everyone involved. All this was possible due to the shared vision of the many people who wanted this event to be a reality," he added.
Alongside Prince and Nencini, U.S. Polo Assn. licensees in Italy are Augusto Bonetto representing Bonis, Andrea Zini representing EastLab, and Franco Zuccon representing EuroTrade, who will all be present to proudly show their respective products and speak with partners, vendors, and other brand representatives.
On the sport side, guests include Stefano Giansanti, Captain of the Italian Polo Team, and Alessandro Giachetti, Member of the Federation of Italian Sports Equestrian (FISE) Polo. Also, Michele Pierguidi, President of Calcio Storico di Firenze, Gianluca Lapi, an icon of Florentine Calcio Storico, and players Dario Bordoni (Rossi), Arno Di Puccio (Bianchi), Antonio Marcelli (Azzurri), and Francesco Manzella (Verdi), heroes of the marketing campaign created for the event. Representatives of the Municipality of Florence will also be on hand.
