Emiliano Montanari, former owner of Siena and current owner of Victor San Marino, would be interested in purchasing Favl Viterbo.

Emilio Montanari
But who is Emiliano Montanari? An engineer and entrepreneur – just like the former patron of the Viterbese 1908 Sports Union Marco Arturo Romano -, owner of the Global Service group, a company active in the IT and telecommunications sector. In June 2022 he purchased Siena in Serie C, a club which however disappeared last summer due to debts which resulted in its failure to register in the Lega Pro (today the Bianconeri won the Eccellenza championship as Siena Football Club, ed.).

Montanari, investigated last July by the Siena Prosecutor’s Office for alleged false compensation relating to training courses, has engaged in a bitter legal battle with the Tuscan municipality for control of the Artemio Franchi stadium, which like the Rocchi has been closed for a year. In November 2022 Montanari also purchased Legnano with his clubs, a Serie D club which is currently experiencing many difficulties, which Montanari himself recently sold, and in February 2024 Victor San Marino, newly promoted to Serie D and recently slipping out of the play-off zone.
