[IMG]calcio storico[/IMG] Calcio Storico is a sport that was/is very popular in Florence, it started during 1500. Nowadays a tournament is held each year around June in the city of Florence. This game looks like rugby, but it makes rugby look like a child's game! To get hold of the ball you can punch, clinch and throw the other player down. You can do this even if the other player doesn' t have the ball. I saw a match once and it is very violent, it really takes your breath away! The rivalry between the teams is very strong as they represent the historic neighborhoods of Florence.
