Calcio Storico is a traditional Italian sport that originated in Florence during the 16th century. It combines elements of soccer, rugby, and wrestling, played on a rectangular field. Teams consist of 27 players each, and the objective is to score by getting a ball into the opponent's goal. The game is known for its physicality and lack of protective gear. The sport is typically played during the Feast of St. John in June, with matches held in historical costumes. Calcio Storico is not only a competitive event but also a celebration of Florentine culture and history, attracting both locals and tourists.
