Augusta, the imperial city overlooking the sea

From the port to the black-and-green eagle, in the footsteps of Frederick II before Messina's league debut.

The first stage of Passaporto 757 takes us to the eastern coast of Sicily, to a city built around the sea and its strategic position. Augusta is port, military history, archaeology, and Mediterranean identity. Its historic centre stands on an island, while the imperial eagle still recalls its link to Frederick II of Swabia. Before entering the “Fontana” stadium for Messina’s league debut, let’s discover the territory welcoming us. Because the away trip begins long before kick-off.
