Long and difficult season in the league, the trophy arrives with the Italian Cup where Fiorentina is unbeatable: it beats Ascoli, Lecce, Palermo and Inter in sequence, before triumphing on Saturday 18 May 1996 in Bergamo against Atalanta . The fifth Italian Cup in Fiorentina's history will be celebrated for a long time, both in Bergamo and, incredibly, until late at night at the Franchi, where the spectators, who watched the match on a giant screen, wait for hours for the team to return. The tournament ends with a record that is difficult to match: eight victories out of eight matches (of which five away) with 17 goals scored and only 3 conceded.

The eleven that won 2-0 in Bergamo with goals from Amoruso and Batistuta was made up of: Toldo (45'st Mareggini), Carnasciali, Padalino, Malusci, Amoruso, Cois, Piacentini, Bigica, Rui Costa, Batistuta, Flachi ( 18'st Robbiati, 44'st Orlando). Coach Claudio Ranieri
