Tuscany Camp
Tuscany Camp, led by head coach Giuseppe Giambrone, is a top-tier professional running team with multiple gold medallists. Known for its rigorous training and commitment to excellence, the team provides a dynamic platform for runners to excel both locally and internationally. I visited the team in October of 2023 and was able to document their training sessions and base camp.
Shooting Tuscany Camp was special for me due to it’s long withstanding history as a power team in the Italian running world. The head-coach Giuseppe Giambrone is a world-renowned trainer, and conceived Tuscany Camp in 2014. He started the camp in collaboration with the Ugandan Federation, and through his work, has helped bring the Ugandan running team as one of the top in the world scene. This project aimed to document how Tuscany Camp manages to help athletes integrate training, running, and health as a lifestyle, rather than as an addition to their everyday lives. The team offers athletes the opportunity to live, train, eat, and socialize all in the same place, and has a team of trainers, physicians, and media access on-site.
