History

Musei Vaticani was formed in 1966, becoming the first club in the Vatican, with the squad consisting of caretakers, restorers and servicemen. The club was originally known as SS Hermes because most of the members were employed in the Ottagono Courtyard of the Pio Clementino Museum where there is a copy of Prassitele's statue of the mythical messenger of gods Hermes.[3]
