Unique in world football scene, lesperienza fan of Lebowski is a rare example of social consciousness and emotional virtue. The URL, the last remaining Lebowski, are hardcore fans, which does not affect the outcome of their team but the commitment of the players and the friendship of the curve.
Spectacularized disgusted by football and everything that surrounds it, the fans of Lebowski decide to leave the curves of the stadiums in Serie A team Fiorentina to support a third-class, fully self-financed, free of recognized talent, but a strong personality and the big heart.

From the story by Pippo Russo, a sociologist and writer:
"The case of the Ultras Lebowski is a rare event probably unique in the world of football fans not only Italian. It 's the case of a group of kids from a certain point in their lives, having gained other membership clubs decide to bind to a team, choose it and choose the team in last place in the last Federal League, this choice is not for territory or belonging to family heritage or cultural ties, this choice is because according to these guys the team Lebowski embodies the values of an old football no longer exists, especially the values of a football as opposed to football Summit of modern football, a modern game where these guys or have been expelled, or in most cases no longer recognize. During the nineties, in more economically developed European countries, football faces a genetic mutation: it becomes pure spectacle, a kind of entertainment that stops responding to the logical to assume those sports show-business. In its expressions of the summit, it moves with the intent to colonize any space and time, both in the calendars you on mass media, thus engulfing the reality of football less. For the latter, it presents a dilemma: go away or resist. Many disappear. Some, however, endures. Like the URL: the last remaining Lebowski. "
