Track Cycling - Moving to Florence

I am moving to Florence, Italy for 5 months starting in August. I wanted to find out if there is a velodrome in or within biking distance of the city. Also, anything else I should visit or be aware of beyond the touristy crap since I have never visited there. Thanks.

the touristy crap

Is some of the worlds best art. If just walking around the old city doesn't inspire you visit a few of the museums, you have no sole. My god, if I could return and spend more time!

I am going there to study art, I will be spending a lot of time looking at all the art in Florence. I assumed there would be a velodrome near the city since it is a major city and cycling is huge part of that culture.

I am having trouble finding much information about this velodrome, have you ever been? I can't even find to seem to find an address or locate it in google maps.

I haven't been there but there is a map at fixedgearfever and it's easy to locate on google maps...
