CALCIO FIORENTINO

In addition to helping us rediscover the historical roots of Calcio Fiorentino by dedicating an entire chapter to the events of the city – from its remote foundation to the years when it was the capital of the Kingdom – the volume allows us to… see the phases of the game through a rich iconographic section. A sort of photographic film that accompanies and integrates the narration, enhancing the emotion derived from it.

Luciano Artusi is one of the leading experts and promoters of the Calcio Storico Fiorentino and the popular traditions of Florence.

For many years director of the Historical Parade of the Florentine Republic and of Calcio Storico,

His deep knowledge and passion shine through on every page, making the book a reference point on the subject.

The work is not limited to sports reporting, but analyzes the game in its historical, social, and artistic context.

The book explores the roots of Calcio Fiorentino, which trace back to ancient ball games practiced by the Greeks and Romans (such as Harpastum), and then evolved in medieval and Renaissance Florence.

There is ample space given to the famous match of February 17, 1530, played in Piazza Santa Croce during the siege of the city by the imperial troops of Charles V,

an event that symbolizes the pride and the indomitable Florentine spirit.

The work describes in detail the rules, the roles of the ‘calcianti’, the historical costumes, and the ritual significance of the matches that still take place today in Piazza Santa Croce.

Through historical documents, anecdotes, and a rich iconographic apparatus (often present in these publications),

the reader is guided to discover a game that is much more than a sporting competition:

It is the living representation of the history and soul of Florence.
