In 1950, Fiorentina started to achieve consistent top-five finishes in the domestic league. The team consisted of players such as well-known goalkeeper [[Giuliano Sarti]], [[Sergio Cervato]], Francesco Rosella, [[Guido Gratton]], [[Giuseppe Chiappella]], Aldo Scaramucci, Brazilian [[Júlio Botelho|Julinho]], and Argentinian [[Miguel Montuori]]. This team won Fiorentina's first ''[[Serie A|scudetto]]'' (Italian championship) in [[1955–56 Serie A|1955–56]], 12 points ahead of second-place [[A.C. Milan|Milan]]. Milan beat Fiorentina to top spot the following year. Fiorentina became the first Italian team to play in a [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] final, when a disputed penalty led to a 2–0 defeat at the hands of [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]]'s [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]].
Fiorentina were runners-up again in the three subsequent seasons. In the [[1960–61 Serie A|1960–61 season]], the club won the Coppa Italia again and was also successful in Europe, winning the first [[Cup Winners' Cup]] against Scottish side [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]].

After several years of runner-up finishes, Fiorentina dropped away slightly in the 1960s, bouncing from fourth to sixth place, although the club won the Coppa Italia and the [[Mitropa Cup]] in 1966.
