Intro by Dragan Janković
"Firenza je, pored vječnog Rima, možda i najljepši grad u Italiji, simbol renesanse. Maratonska trasa svojim cijelim tokom prolazi kroz grad i obilazi sve značajnije njegove dijelove. Organizacija je traljava, što inače karakterizira talijanske maratone, ali su zato pokloni sponzora neobično izdašni. Majice dobivene u Firenzi su uvijek bile opipljivo bolje i kvalitetnije od bilo kojih drugih, što trkačima uopće nije nevažno. Barem našima."
