About

Piacenza Calcio 1919, based in Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, currently competes in Serie D and presents a distinctive profile for shirt collectors and historians alike; Walkouts introduces this concise guide to provenance and fanshop demand, noting the club was founded on 01 January 1919 and re-formed in later years.

The club’s modern identity is shaped by its re-foundation, formally re-established in 2012 when Piacenza Calcio 1919 acquired the brand rights from Salva Piace; that legal transfer matters to collectors because it ties modern retail runs and signed items to the original lineage rather than to an unrelated successor.

Piacenza’s intimate local footprint makes city provenance important, with shirts telling a civic story as much as a sporting one; while the ground name is not recorded here, shirts issued for home and away duty are often annotated by matchday and season, so provenance tags and match attributions are central to verification and display.

Anniversary releases are a natural focus, and the 1919 centenary generated commemorative items that are widely sought; collectors look for a labelled Centenary 2019 release that ties design details to the club’s 100-year milestone, these runs often carried special badges or limited numbering and therefore rank high on want lists.

Season and match magnets for Piacenza concentrate around the club’s rebirth and the centenary era, with shirts from the re-founding period and centenary season chased because they represent turning points in the club’s modern record; signed shirts linked to promotion or survival fixtures, and framed retail editions from milestone campaigns, carry extra provenance when supported by dated tags or official photos.

Iconic away colourways command attention when they are linked to decisive results after the club’s re-formation, and collectors note contrasting away kits used on the road during key run-ins; signed fanshop shirts, early production runs and player-issue variants issued after the 2012 reset are among the types that enjoy measurable demand. Fans and archivists also prize documented signatures and exact photo proof to corroborate signing events.

Signed retail items are explicitly collected, not only match-worn shirts, with emphasis on first runs, region-specific fanshop editions and player-issue variants that can be obtained through the official outlet or club events; look for COA and other documentary evidence when assessing a signature. The recent history means pieces tied to the Centenary 2019 and the 2012 re-founding era often surface with attestation, and Walkouts will list goods with clear provenance and COA to support display and framing.
