"We would like to take this opportunity to thank the doctors, nurses and hospitals who continue to care for all who need medical care at this difficult time for Italy and even the rest of the world."
Italy has been devastated during this global health pandemic, with more than 15,000 lives lost in the country.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Fiorentina conducted a fundraising 'Forza e Cuore' which reached the initial target of 500 thousand euros in three days. The money will be used to help buy basic supplies and equipment.
"Fiorentina is working with the ONLUS Careggi foundation and Santa Maria Nuova through the Forza e Cuore campaign, which has so far raised more than 760 thousand euros," Viola announced.
"The money has been used to purchase key materials and equipment to be used in the fight against the pandemic."
