Calcio Storico Fiorentino
Calcio Storico Fiorentino is a historic sport that originated in Florence, Italy, during the 16th century. It combines elements of soccer, rugby, and wrestling, played on a rectangular field. The game features two teams, each consisting of 27 players, who aim to score by getting a ball into the opponent's goal.
The sport is traditionally played in June, culminating in a final match held on June 24th to celebrate the feast of San Giovanni, the patron saint of Florence. The event is marked by colorful costumes, lively crowds, and a strong sense of local pride, making it a unique cultural spectacle.
