@@tiziano316 prima di tutto ci siamo evoluti anche grazie alla violenza, secondo non credo sia da paragonate la corrida al calcio in costume in una c'è gli animali nel l'altra solo persone coscenti di cosa fanno, semmai la puoi paragonare al palio ma anche su quello e meglio se taci visto la tua ignoranza, comunque non è violenza gratuita questa, sono tutti combattenti scendono in campo per il quartiere ma anche per loro stessi perché tutti gli sport di contatto prima di sconfiggere il tuo avversario devi sconfiggere le tue paure, non c'è odio in questa "violenza" che tu tanto accusi forse ce ne più nelle tue parole.... Il vero violento sei tu forse?
BTW the Romans had a very similar game, a kind of primitive football, played mostly in the legions, and when there was a match between the recruits and the instructors, the firsts could avenge many abuses since punches, kicks, etc was all normal in that game like in the Florentine football.
A prescindere da quale squadra italiana si tifi!! Da tifoso del Napoli sono orgoglioso che in Italia ci sia ancora gente che con le "palle" che tiene su la propria tradizione che è unica al mondo!! Penso che siete l orgoglio Dell Italia.. Grandi!!
ah, Italians and their tradition, they take care of it, i love this. In Germany it would be forbidden, because it is too violent, after WW2 we can barely to something, even if it has nothing to do with WW2🙄😒
Soy del norte de México, es un arte y belleza ese deporte. Deberían de ver juegos a nivel internacional de este Calcio Storico, sería una forma más interesante que el fútbol.
Calcio Storico (Historical Football) has more than 500y of history and these guys in Florence repeat this tradition every here, with great passion e respect for their history. And consider that it's really all about passion, they train and they fight for no money in return
I go there every year just to see this tournament.Tuscany is spectacular in history and culture nevermind the beautiful cities and countryside,i went to the Palio in Siena too,i love Tuscany i really do.
Rugby, Bare Knukle Boxing and all fighting sports too, even if some say “you don’t play boxing” … all are games since there are rules in. Easy to contradict you sir, too easy.
How? This is a paid commercial by le coq sportif and Fiorentina. If this would be a documentary there would be bigger focus on the game itself and less on the kits. Don't take this the wrong way, I still think that the story behind the four kits and this video is fantastic, but all that I am trying to say is that its basically a one long really well made ad.
I wish this would take off outside of Florence too. It’d never be as passionate without the history they have over there, but I bet it’d still be some buzz playing it! Makes me love this part of Italy even more than I already did. Much love from Scotland 🏴

These is profoundly Italian in more ways than might be apparent. The drama, the not so playful play, the colours/districts/family against family, the “brotherhood” and the “let’s drink all together after” happy ending.

This is brilliant, in England during the medieval times football used to be similar to this. Sometimes in the streets with the 2 goals being miles apart and the only rule being that you couldn’t kill your opponent.
@@danilodemaddis7317 Dovresti studiare la storia, questo era il gioco in epoca romana, giocato dai soldati e gladiatori romani, nel tempo e rimasto solo a Firenze, fondata dai romani del antico impero.
It's great to see fortitude in modern descendants of the city with numerous of eminent citizens such as Davinchi, Mikelandgelo alongside Nikolo Makiaveli, whom I read in Kyrgyzstan in 2021. I'm sorry for the spelling of their names. Florentians left an immortal legacy for the entire world.
I'm sitting in a hotel room in Florence watching this. After spending time in Florence, with it's beauty and history, I can understand why Florentines feel so passionate about this. I've never been anywhere that instills such a feeling of being a part of history.
Questo gioco se così si può definire nn e mai stato giocato dai romani e nato a Firenze nel medioevo durante un assedio mentre la città era allo stremo x la fame fu deciso di organizzare qualcosa x dimostrate al nemico che Firenze era ancora in forza il premio era un vitello quindi carne e x conquistare il premio se le dettero di santa ragione 😁
@@marcomugnai6380 A quanto ne so - ma non ho consultato tutte le fonti storiche, quindi potrei essere mal informato - il gioco si è sviluppato a Firenze, ma deriverebbe dall'arpasto dei romani.

I was there, not to the final match, but the match before it between the Whites and the Blues. It was something special and completely unique for Firenze. I highly recommend a visit to the city, and do it around the 24th of June for a chance to see a Calcio Storico-match and the San Giovanni fireworks. Firenze is great, Calcio Storico is brutal and great, and it's well worth a visit.

as an Italian and florentine it always bothered me that especially in the Anglo-Saxon world the Italian are always seen as " cowards" because we didn't fight well in ww2. All those jokes about Italian soldiers , or Italian tanks that have one Forward gear and 5 backwards gears etc etc Italians aren't coward at all, if we believe in something. These guys love and believe what they are doing, and they can give lessons of courage to anybody in the world, and they have a heart of a lion. Before judging others countries people, maybe one should do more homework. Proud to be Italian and florentine!
Italians fought well when equipped in WW2, check what Rommel said, XMAS and Guillet, El Alamein... They were scarcely equipped and leaded by donkeys but not cowards, fought till the last men many times, last nation to retreat from Russia... Let people speak, the real ones knows.
@@marvinsilverman4394 it's the Arditi flag, the first shock troop that has ever existed and fought in ww1 for the pride of Italy bare hands using mostly knifes their motto was "either we win or we all die". Educate yourself kiddo...
Ace Gibson The origin of the game is in fact HARPASTUM, a sort of sport the Roman Legions used to practice to stay in shape, first described in writings from 49 AD. To consider the brutal environment of the Roman Legions put in the picture the fact that, in case of defeat or poor performance in battle the cohorts were inflicted as punishment DECIMATIO... one out of ten soldiers picked randomly were condemned to death and the sentences were executed by their own fellow troopers by beating them to death with sticks....

I'm so proud of my country! Florence is the most beautiful city in the world!
sarebbe perfetto con uno scudetto , ma ci arriveremo

No subtitle was needed
IlPelatoDiBrazzerz e perché cazzo parlate inglese
Bel nome
Forza Milan!?
I was there, not to the final match, but the match before it between the Whites and the Blues. It was something special and completely unique for Firenze. I highly recommend a visit to the city, and do it around the 24th of June for a chance to see a Calcio Storico-match and the San Giovanni fireworks. Firenze is great, Calcio Storico is brutal and great, and it's well worth a visit.
Great production on this. Really helped tell the stories of these men. Bravo!
Just a beautiful tradition. I'm jealous. I'd like to witness it one day once all this settles down.
that's why they have med4all, i don't want to imagine what would happen if it were taken away from them
@@Ezekiel903 right! lol never thought of it that way and I'm from Firenze, dei ROSSI!!!! (of the reds, the color i belong to, even if I don't personally play)
BELO ESPORTE, SAUDAÇÕES DO BRASIL
i visited Florence about a week later and it had a similar, old traditioned horse race which also made the city feel more alive than ever
@HerrNilssonTheMonkey Palio does not take place in Florence,but in Siena.
You probably mean the palio. But it's placed in Siena, not in Florence. I live in Siena.
This is how wars should be settled between world powers. Great video!
American football: I'm the toughest sport in the world
Rugby: I am the meanest sport in the world
MMA: I am the most challenging sport in the world
Calcio Storico: I am art
I love how there's so much tactics and strategy involved in punchball.
Roman legionaries blood is in italian people DNA. Warrior culture
as an Italian and florentine it always bothered me that especially in the Anglo-Saxon world the Italian are always seen as " cowards" because we didn't fight well in ww2. All those jokes about Italian soldiers , or Italian tanks that have one Forward gear and 5 backwards gears etc etc
Italians aren't coward at all, if we believe in something. These guys love and believe what they are doing, and they can give lessons of courage to anybody in the world, and they have a heart of a lion. Before judging others countries people, maybe one should do more homework. Proud to be Italian and florentine!
Italians fought well when equipped in WW2, check what Rommel said, XMAS and Guillet, El Alamein... They were scarcely equipped and leaded by donkeys but not cowards, fought till the last men many times, last nation to retreat from Russia... Let people speak, the real ones knows.
Fantástico mis respetos 🇦🇷💪🇮🇹
That's also your culture
@@bvro9633 you have a skull with a knife
lol
@@marvinsilverman4394 it's the Arditi flag, the first shock troop that has ever existed and fought in ww1 for the pride of Italy bare hands using mostly knifes their motto was "either we win or we all die".
Educate yourself kiddo...
@@bvro9633 lmao no
Thats seriously commitment and beautiful at its finest as a true Italian fan of Palermo fc (Sicilian) this is beautiful!!!
Bellissimo Sport, va alle radici della natura umana. Grazie ai ragazzi che ne portano avanti la tradizione.
Crazy guys.
Best sport ever !!!!!!!
This sport is absolutely fantastic
This looks fun!
Hell yeah it does!! Sup, Streetbeefs fam?
What a beautiful tradition.
We play this at school at lunch times starts off as a game of football minutes later turns into this😂😂
U guys don't have enough technique so you have to use violence... Haha
Lol
😂😂❤️👍
If neymar was in there he would be thrown out of the arena single handedly 😂
D Legit
Nah, he could flop and play dead. Solid tactic
so would you you pussy
They use neymar like a welcome mat
This is not game for football primadonas
The rule is that you can't leave the arena on your legs (unless you're expelled for a fault), so yeah, it would be funny to watch 😂
We need this game in every Stadium in the World!
I imagine this is a taste of what the gladiators were like.
Ace Gibson
The origin of the game is in fact HARPASTUM, a sort of sport the Roman Legions used to practice to stay in shape, first described in writings from 49 AD.
To consider the brutal environment of the Roman Legions put in the picture the fact that, in case of defeat or poor performance in battle the cohorts were inflicted as punishment DECIMATIO... one out of ten soldiers picked randomly were condemned to death and the sentences were executed by their own fellow troopers by beating them to death with sticks....
@@ClaudeMagicbox Decimatio was extremely rare and was implemented as a punishment for cowardness and not for losing a battle.
A taste of people full of roids and shit.
Io sono di Firenze e sono davvero onorato per questo video sul il calcio storico che fa parte della nostra tradizione 🔝👌🇮🇹
I really enjoyed this, how much they love their city!
Just great! Respect from Hamburger SV!
American footballer: I'm badass
Florentine footballer: Hold my beer

I would genuinely love to travel to Florence during the Feast of San Giovanni and watch a game of Calico Storico.
Calcio storico fiorentino...👍
New country New life New Dreams New nationality respect is everything of me ❤

Loving the mini-documentaries coming from Copa90. They've always been top draw
"un poco más violento que lo que vemos en el futbol normal"
pero sólo un poquito, eh? xDDDD
El deporte siempre estará ligado a la violencia
Solo un poquito el ganador se va a su casa en ambulancia, el perdedor se va a su casa en un ataud!
Que hueva
Esta mejor que el futbol de ahora el futbol de ahora le bajaron la pasion mucho manoseo de fifa mucha mercadotencia mafia y sobretodo cualquiera patea una pelota hasta una abuela en silla de ruedas patea un balon
Nel passato potevano essere usati i pugnali sotto le natiche...
Italy, a country full of history. Magic !
Semoga olahraga ini dapat disaksikan di seluruh dunia, salam dari indonesia 🇮🇩❤️🇮🇹 respect 🫡
IN ALL MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO AMAZINGLY BRUTAL CRAZY AND FUCKING FUN TO WATCH🤘🏼💀🤘🏼💀🤘🏼💀🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
