The first appearance of the [[Guardia di Finanza]] in the context of sports competitions dates back to 1911, with the participation of a team in the gymnastics competitions organized in Turin for the 50th anniversary of the [[Unification of Italy]]. But the first organized structure, the original nucleus of the ''Fiamme Gialle (Yellow Flames)'', was created in 1921 to participate in a walking race, the Scudo Nelli Trophy, which was finally awarded after three successes in 1922, 1925, and 1928.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fiammegialle.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=category&id=64&Itemid=434|title=Fiamme Gialle - Cronistoria|publisher=fiammegialle.org|language=it|access-date=16 May 2020}}</ref>
