Biography
Formation
Spezia Calcio, an Italian professional football club, was founded in 1906 by Swiss banker Hermann Hurny in La Spezia, Liguria. Hurny, who had played for the reserves of Crystal Palace during his studies in London, brought back a light blue and white kit, allegedly a second-hand Crystal Palace uniform, which became the club's first colors. The club initially competed in local leagues and quickly made a name for itself.
Early Success
In 1926, Spezia won the Seconda Divisione, earning promotion to the Prima Divisione, which was then the second-highest level of Italian football. By 1929, they had won the Prima Divisione, but due to league restructuring, they remained in Serie B. The club changed its name to AC Spezia for the 1929-30 season, marking the beginning of its long-standing presence in Italian football.
Challenges and Resilience
The club faced challenges during World War II, leading to a temporary merger with the local firefighters to maintain a squad. Under the name 42° Corpo dei Vigili del Fuoco della Spezia, they competed in regional rounds and even won their group, showcasing their resilience during tough times. After the war, Spezia continued to navigate the ups and downs of Italian football, including relegations and promotions across various leagues, including Serie A, Serie B, and Serie C.
Legacy
Spezia Calcio has a rich history marked by its early successes and the ability to adapt through challenging periods. The club remains a significant part of the Italian football landscape, with a legacy that reflects both its competitive spirit and community roots.

Career & Clubs
Early history (1906–1944)
Spezia Calcio was founded in 1906 by the Swiss banker Hermann Hurny (or Hurni in some documents), who played for the reserves of Crystal Palace in London during his time there as a student. Allegedly the first Spezia kit, light blue and white, was a second hand Crystal Palace kit donated to Hurny when he returned to La Spezia. He played for Crystal Palace again (in its revived form) in 1909. In 1926, they won the Seconda Divisione and were promoted to the Prima Divisione, which was at that time the second-highest level of Italian football. In 1929 Spezia won the Prima Divisione but the league was demoted to become the third division in Italy so the team remained at the second level, playing in Serie B. For the 1929–30 season, the club played in the first season of the newly formed Serie B and changed their name to AC Spezia. Spezia remained at this level before suffering relegation in 1935, only to swiftly return for the 1936–37 season. In 1944, because of World War II, the Italian football federation decided to split the top league into regional rounds. The team, named 42° Corpo dei Vigili del Fuoco della Spezia (Firefighters of La Spezia) after a merger with the local firefighter to have a sufficient number of players, was included in Round D of Emilia-Romagna, together with Corradini Suzzara, Fidentina, Orlandi Busseto and Parma. Spezia won the round and qualified to the semi-finals, in which it challenged Suzzara, Carpi and Modena.…
