About Calcio storico fiorentino
Calcio storico fiorentino, also known as calcio storico or calcio in livrea, is an early form of football that originated during the Middle Ages in Italy and is still played in Florence. Once widely played, the sport is thought to have started in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. There it became known as the giuoco del calcio fiorentino or simply calcio, which is now also the name for association football in the Italian language. The game may have started as a revival of the Roman sport of harpastum.
