One Hundred Years of Brescia Calcio commemorated on San Marino Stamps
The Republic of San Marino have issued a stamp dedicated to the Centenary of the foundation of Brescia Football Club – Brescia Calcio: a philatelic issue to commemorate a historic event of major importance.
In 1911 Brescia football club was founded out of a merger between the football associations led by Franco Apollonio: namely, Victoria, Unione Sportiva Bresciana and Gimnasium.
The first Brescia football club team was entrusted to the technical guidance of Ettore Bacchelli.
In the following years Brescia managed to emerge onto the national scene and in the 1929-1930 season took part on the first Series A championship. In 1936 it was named Associazione Calcio Brescia and since 1976 has been called Brescia Calcio.
The stamp features the team’s logo.
