About Calcio Storico Fiorentino

Calcio Storico Fiorentino is a Renaissance Football game first played in Florence (Fiorentina), Tuscany in the 1400s by workers on breaks from work in the city. It was the first organised football in the world, rather than the Medieval mob football which preceeded it and where there were no rules or restrictions on numbers playing. It could be seen as part of the wider Renaissance whereby Tuscany’s ancient pre-Roman, pre-Catholic past was brought back. It is 27-a-side and played on sand in the Piazza di Santa Croce

*The Tuscan language (Etruscan) is one which predates the Latin arrival in the Italian peninsula, and even though the letters and sounds are known there is no knowledge of the word meanings as no document translating Etruscan to Latin or Greek has ever been found. It does, however, sound similar to Basque, and therefore could be incuded in the Celtic sports section as part of the “Atlantic” or “Black Atlantic” family along with the Celtic languages, Basque and Berber (Tamashek) – half the words in the Gaelic language are of an Indo-European origin (Greek, Latin, Germanic, Slavic etc)and half of a North African Afro-Asiatic origin (Berber, Tuareg, Maltese, Hebrew, Arab etc).

About

Tamburrello (Italy) or Jeu de Tambourine (France) is a sport dating back to the mid-19th Century which is like a racquet sport in that two teams of five attempt to get the ball into the oposing court using a tambourine-like racquet. There is no net and the game is 5-a-side. There are four variations of the game: Opem (Outdoor, played on clay), Indoor (played in a gym 34×15 metres in dimension), Wall (played on clay or asphalt courts with a wall along one side), and Tambeach, born in Sicily over 50 years ago, and as its name suggests played on a beach. Scoring is best of three sets. Sets are up to 6 matches.
