Pallone is a traditional Italian game similar to handball, played with a ball called a pallone. The objective is to hit the ball against a wall, allowing it to bounce back into the playing area, while opponents try to return it. The game can be played in various forms, including singles or doubles, and is often played outdoors. The sport has historical roots in Italy, dating back to the 16th century, and is often associated with regions like Tuscany and Lazio. Pallone is not only a recreational activity but also a cultural tradition, with local tournaments and festivals celebrating the game.
