Ezeta Channel Tivoli’s Eternal Spirit For 2026/27 Kit Collection

Ezeta continues to define its own aesthetic in football culture with the 2026/27 collection for Tivoli Calcio 1919. The Italian label draws deeply on the millenary heritage of Tivoli, a city said to predate Rome, to create a range that blends myth, architecture, and artisanal craft. The result is a set of jerseys that read as wearable stories rather than standard kits.

The City as Protagonist

Tivoli – once called Tibur Superbum (“Tivoli the Proud”) by the Romans – provides the narrative foundation. Founded by Tiburtus, son of the Greek hero Catillus, the city is a layered mix of legend, Renaissance grandeur, and natural drama. Ezeta captures this spirit by weaving local mythology directly into the fabric.

Central to the story is the eagle. According to legend, the bird spread its wings above the cliffs at the city’s founding, becoming a perpetual guardian. This eagle features prominently across the collection as a sublimated motif, merging Tivoli’s identity with modern design.

The campaign was shot inside Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance design. The setting—with its fountains, frescoes, and ornate geometries—mirrors the intricate detailing of the kits themselves.

Home and Away: Identity in Fabric

The Home and Away jerseys are built around a reimagined club crest: a powerful eagle with wings fully extended, symbolising protection and pride. The crest is sublimated into the lower section of the shirt, giving it a permanent, etched-in feel.

The all-over pattern draws from the decorative language of the House of Este, the noble family tied to Tivoli’s cultural golden age. Lilies, rosettes, and heraldic geometries create a layered composition that reveals more detail on closer inspection.

Navy collars and cuffs, trimmed with a refined silver edge, add a ceremonial elegance. The palette balances restraint with grandeur, reflecting the “Tivoli the Proud” ethos.

Third and Fourth: Living Paintings

The Third and Fourth kits push into full narrative territory. Conceived as “living paintings,” these jerseys turn Tivoli’s landmarks into immersive canvases.

Across the shoulders and sleeves, the battlements of Rocca Pia rise into view, referencing the Renaissance fortress commissioned by Pope Pius II. The design is rendered in Ezeta’s signature illustrative style.

At the centre of the shirt, the Organ Fountain of Villa d’Este appears mid-flow, translating the motion and sound of water into a visual rhythm. It captures the poetic relationship between Tivoli and its famous water features.

Turn the shirt and the landscape expands: the cliffs of Tivoli open onto the Aniene River, whose currents have shaped the terrain for millennia. Every element is hand-painted, lending the pieces an artisanal quality rare in modern kit design.

A Cultural Artefact

With this collection, Ezeta reaffirms its commitment to treating football kits as cultural artefacts rather than conventional sportswear. Each project becomes an exploration of place, history, and identity. For Tivoli Calcio 1919, that means jerseys that embody a city—its eagle, its fountains, its fortresses, and its ancient myth. Every thread carries narrative weight.

Ezeta’s Tivoli 2026/27 collection stands as a tribute not just to football, but to the enduring beauty of Tivoli itself.
