Calcio Storico in Florence

Florence's brutal historic football, not for the weak

Calcio Storico is part rugby, part MMA, part football, played in Renaissance costumes in a sand pit. Florence takes it dead seriously. It's violent, beautiful, and completely insane. One of the most intense things I've ever witnessed.
