Some guys just need stuff like this. The violence, the athleticism, the teamwork… it makes us feel good. It’s hard to explain.

I like how at 9:14 white scores and blue goes from wanting to kill him to giving him a pat on the back. Goes to show this sport is full of big hits and fighting but respect of your opponent isn't thrown out the window.

Going back again this year, there's nothing like it, better than any fight Night or football match I was ever at, it's the local passion, the atmosphere is just incredible in an old square in Florence, all the traditional garb they wear, everything about it is just amazing!

More background info on the whole event would have made this clip more than a vague promo for Florence. Why are there rival districts? Are they differentiated by class? Trades? Origin? What time of year does the event take place? Why? Where do city officials stand on this? How do Could Calcio Storico ever be exported? If so, how? If not, why? Just a few things I’d be curious to see in this type of clip.

@KingFuego

The rivalry goes way back in history. Today they just keep the tradition there is no bad blood between them. They are just split in 4 districts because Florence was originally built that way in the past (today there are a lot more but the main ones are these 4). The event takes place in the beginning of June. It goes on for about a week from the first match to the finals. The city officials of course agree to this and actually spectate. I don't know if it can be exported but I am pretty sure there is no copyrights. I'm actually from Florence so I hope I clarified some things for you :)

I can't believe how many judgmental/narrow minded people are commenting negatively about this. This sport is a celebration of history, tradition, familial honor, bravery, sacrifice, humility. It's brutal and it's violent, but it's beautiful in its own way. If you can't identify with these people and/or respect what they put themselves through, then you are missing out on much of what you as a human have evolved to experience...you're living in a bubble of comfort and self indulgence; you're a wraith, and your life signifies nothing.

BUONGIORNO! Innanzitutto grazie per questo bel video, molto professionale e chiaro. L'ho usato come materiale didattico in un corso di lingua e cultura italiana per due gruppi di studenti americani e ho sollecitato, come esperimento culturale, le loro reazioni scritte. Sperando di fare cosa gradita, copio le reazioni e i commenti degli studenti: "Ed è per questo che Roma è migliore!" (credo che questo studente fosse in vena di scherzi) "Qualcuno può allenarmi ad essere uno di questi gladiatori per favore?" "Perché indossano parastinchi se poi si colpiscono in faccia tutto il tempo?" Uno studente voleva assolutamente che io partecipassi a una partita di calcio storico ma, da torinese, so di non potere, e me ne rammarico. "Sono molto coraggiosi! È molto difficile per noi provare." (E lo credo bene) "Cosa succede alla mucca cerimoniale?" "Non è troppo lavoro solo per una mucca?" "Sarebbe bello se questo gioco si facesse anche negli USA" "Tutto molto interessante!" "Ammiro moltissimo i giocatori che rischiano la vita per il loro quartiere!" Grazie per il video e per aver letto i commenti dei miei studenti. Da parte mia posso solo presentare questi fenomeni storico-culturali come esempi della nostra ricchezza e varietà. Soprattutto quando non si obbligano animali a combattere o a morire per divertimento. Adulti e consenzienti è sempre, a mio parere, la formula migliore.

I love Italy, thats why I married an Italian.

It look very fun to watch, this sport have a big potential to go huge in the world or maybe something similar as that.

90% of this game involves beating your opponent so badly that they can't play anymore. I've been looking for a sport for a long time that bridges the gap between modern football and traditional gladiator fighting. Thanks. Really thank you.

This is now my favourite sport.

Now imagine this with a chicken instead of a ball.

this is just pure and amazing

During the trainning it looked like a rugby trainning, but in the field, damm it is a fucking free for all with a ball passing by sometimes. Anyway I liked this sport and I'd like to watch it in person.

Ezio Auditore would be proud

And still the Italian footballers are rolling on the grass crying like little girls even though the opposing player is nowhere near them...

Not Italian, but you just described all soccer players honestly. They are all a bunch of cry baby fakers

Liquid2KS LMAO good spot 😂😂😂😂

The passion is unreal

AMAZING! I love it. I want to go participate

It’s actually feels like I’m in a time machine

Seeing these beasts beat the hell out of each other I can't believe Italian troops were beaten so easily in WW2, and their football players act like prima donnas on the pitch. But also gives a glimpse how good the Roman legions could have been. Forza Italia!

Italy was beaten badly in WW2 not because of their troops but because of their inadeguate and outdated equipment.

Wow, the best ever, this looks more tough than hockey! Damn and all those guys are ripped...

I'll be in the Florence area in June during the first round! I'm gonna see if I can get tix!

This is gaelic football without a ref

Per favore fate lo, una competizione tra tutte le borghese itialane (funzionerebbe perfettamente in Italia grazie a tutti i rivalità tra le regioni). Sono inglese, ma mi piacerebbe vederlo su Sky sports o qualcosa così. Penso che questo sport sia uno dei meglio di storia
