Month: June
Part football, part thuggery, dripping in testosterone and tradition, Calcio Storico is not for the faint-hearted. Since the 1500's teams of 27 combatants - donned in period costume - have paraded through the picture-postcard streets of Florence before being let loose on each other in a sporting battle unlike anything else seen in Europe.
The Queen of the Adriatic, Venice plays host to it's own very unique celebration of Carnival each February (Carnevale di Venzia) and has done on and off since 1268. Elaborate masks are central to Venice Carnival festivities and lend the celebration a sense of timelessness and mystery. The Venetian backdrop, truckloads of sumptuos Italian food and wine, a classical soundtrack and a frenzy of fireworks, make it one of Europe's most anticipated celebrations year after year.
