AZ Picerno, or simplyPicerno, is anItalian association football club, representing the town ofPicerno,Province of Potenza,Basilicata. It is currently playing inSerie C.
Founded in 1973, AZ Picerno mostly languished as an amateur club in the minor league of the Italian football system throughout its history.
The club turned its fortunes thanks to Donato Curcio, a local native who emigrated to theUnited States in the 1950s who first donated 1 millionEuro for a new football stadium (named after him) in Picerno, and then starting investing directly into the club in the later years.[3][4][5]
On 18 April 2019, Picerno mathematically ensured their first historical promotion toSerie C after a 0–0 draw with Taranto guaranteed them first place in the Round H ofSerie D.[6]
Due to restrictions to the local football stadium "Comunale Donato Curcio", which is unsuitable for professional league games, Picerno played its home games in the2019–20 Serie C season at theStadio Alfredo Viviani in neighbouringPotenza.[7] The season ended with Picerno being immediately relegated back to Serie D.
After completing the2020–21 Serie D season in second place, Picerno was readmitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy for the2021–22 season.
