It's amazing looking at the passion in the eyes of these guys, giving all themeselves, fighting and risking their life for their history, for preserving their tradition. Fom c. 500 years every year in Florence this tradition is respected by all the cities. And believe me, I've seen this live, being in a cage for 50 minutes with 27 beasts in front of you ready to kick your ass is not easy, you've to proud, brave and a little bit crazy. They take no money for that, it's all about passion and traditions. RESPECT

Better than any movie I've seen.. this is some true warrior gladiator shit.. This should be bigger than UFC

it's history and culture like il palio of Siena. horse race with no rules and thousands just inches away.....brividi! "that's chills in Italian"

Frightening! Powerful! Beautiful! ...Beautiful.

This makes me look around here in America and ask myself what the fuck? People in Europe enjoy their lives, they eat, drink, dance, and love all with extreme passion! People over there are not bound to routines and work with no days off. People over there enjoy time off for leisure and to have fun with friends and family, Sports are a passion that not even the most die hard NFL fan can understand. We need to learn something from the Europeans on how not to be such an uptight country. The culture in Latin America is a lot like in Europe, except with less money and less white people, but the sentiment for culture and passion for family, friends, food and sports is the same. i wish the US was more like this.

+J Gamez I agree with you, I think the problem is that americans are very selfish and shallow, as well as very defensive and racist, together with isolation. They hate other races and they cannot stand anyone else, not even themselves. Plus, Americans are always living in terror, they had it coming for all the shit they have been doing. Latin American and European countries are very open minded, they welcome everything that is different from them and are very friendly to everyone.

Whatever it is, its very cool. But remember that the Roman Empire itself was one huge melting pot. Britain was part of it ie. Hadrian's Wall. I've been a huge fan of Florence after reading "The Agony and Ecstasy" about Michaelangelo and the De Medici family when I was in high school. Never been to Florence but hope to visit one day. I'm in New Zealand now where rugby is king (See "All Blacks" videos. Rugby is similar to this calcio storico fiorentino but not as rough. But rugby is rougher than gridiron football in America in my estimation. I think this Florentine game would go over huge in New Zealand and America. I think its the future.

heheheheh I know you guys from rugby. I agree, the Celts and you guys have that fighting spirit in the DNA. You'd do well. Still, in town we hear of lots of boxers, rugby players and MMA fighters who don't have the guts to step into that arena. It's more regulated now (before no 1 on 1 only rule) but still. It's 50 minutes of 25 against 25 and when the refs are not looking, anything can happen. At least 3-4 end up in hospital and most require stitches and an X-ray after the game. Bear in mind that if you manage to put a player out of the game by causing injury, it's good as you have an extra player. No subs. You hear stories from the 70s 80s and 90s that give the chills.
