The Event
Each June dating back to the 15th Century, Piazza Santa Croce transforms with a thousand tons of sand for the vibrant Calcio Fiorentino - a spectacular pageant blending ceremony and sport. The game is a mix of rugby, soccer and wrestling and is well known for its intensity, passion, and occasional violence as the four historic teams - each representing a district of Florence - battle for victory. Each match is preceded by a wonderful parade with over 500 participants dressed in brightly coloured medieval costumes including soldiers, musicians, flag-throwers (sbandietarori) and the players themselves who march into the piazza before the action begins.
Join in the roar of devoted supporters rallying behind their teams as the match unfolds, and enjoy a perfect front-row view of all the action from above — a truly unforgettable way to experience this iconic event.
