MODERN GLADIATORS : Calcio Storico Fiorentino

A hair-raising sporting event!

A mix, of rugby, soccer, American football, boxing, MMA and Greco Roman wrestling, CALCIO STORICO FIORENTINO is by for the most exciting sporting event I have ever witnessed live.

Calcio Storico is a game that has been played in Firenze, Italia for centuries. Four teams; ROSSI, BIANCHI, AZZURI e VERDI (RED, WHITE, BLUE and GREEN), representing different historical neighborhoods in the city; punch, kick, run and scrape their way toward victory in a round robin tournament.
