Fortezza Crew, the Florentine Skateboard and Board Sports ASD, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with a special event on October 12th and 13th at Manifattura Tabacchi.

The event features a rich program of activities: a photography exhibition showcasing historical images of the crew, along with a display of vintage skateboards. Veteran skaters from the Florentine scene will also be present to share their stories.

A talk on the downhill longboard scene will be held with an international athlete from the crew, fresh from the World Championships. The event will also offer workshops on screen printing, grip job art, photo and clip making, as well as video screenings of the crew.

From 10.30 am to 12.00 pm, free skateboarding sessions will be open to all ages, guided by the Fortezza Crew instructors. Saturday evening, starting at 7.00 pm, enjoy an aperitivo by Bulli&Balene, accompanied by a DJ set from Stanley Brooklyn, Simone Sassoli, and special guests. On Sunday at 3.30 pm, there will be a Best Trick Contest.

Throughout the event, except during the free trial sessions, Free Skate will be available.
