President Rocco Commisso had the following to say regarding the events that took place during the match against St. Gallen:

“Florence is a wonderful city renowned throughout the world for its art and beauty. The unique passion of Florentines and Viola fans is an extraordinary value that is appreciated across the globe. 

“The passion of our Curva amazes me and fills me with emotion every time the team takes to the field and every time I go over to greet our fans. That is how I would like Florentines' passion for Fiorentina to be seen.

“Thursday's events risk ruining this image. The irresponsible behavior of a few damages not only Fiorentina but also what Florence represents in Italy, Europe and the world.

“I hope there is no reoccurrence of such events and it is with this hope that we go into the game against Roma. Viola fans must keep carrying our colors and their voices into every stadium. United, together, we can take on any opponent.

“Forza Viola, always.”
