Not your usual soccer game, this rough and ready match dates back to the 16th century and is held in a sand-filled piazza in front of the the Santa Croce church. Players wear Medieval-style costumes and can punch, kick, and elbow their way toward to the goal. The match is played on the feast day of Florence’s patron saint, Saint John the Baptist.

Twice a year, in July and August, the wide Piazza del Campo in the center of Siena is transformed into a horse racetrack. 17 different 'contrade' neighborhoods are represented by decorated silk flags and compete to win the coveted 'Drappellone' prize. There are also historical costumed parades that take place before the race.

Palio di Siena is a medieval horse racing, which is done in Piazza del Campo ( the main square) of Siena, a charming medieval town in Tuscany Region, in the center of Italy. It is celebrated twice a year, and we went to the city on 16th of August (the other one is in February, I think). We came here with my 3 years old daughter in August-2019, so we are not during the horse racing, we only were at morning, but we could see all decoration, horses, people, wonderful event. My daughter enjoyed a lot seeing horses, playing in Piazza del Campo and seeing a lot of people costumed as Middle Ages. After we saw the horse racing in TV: fantastic event! Very recommendable! A top in Europe! (See also Centro Storico di Siena, Piazza del Duomo and Torre del Mangia)

The Carnevale di Viareggio is a carnival held in the city of Viareggio, Tuscany, Italy. It is one the most popular carnivals in Europe. The tradition of the carnival goes way back to 1873, when the first parade was held. This parade with colorful floats is held on the Viale Regina Margherita and its favorite subjects are caricatures of popular people. The Italians themselves love the Viareggio Carnival and despite the more and more curious tourists, the event holds an authentic Italian character. During the whole month you can enjoy some of the finest Italian culture with colorful night-parties, masked balls, and theater shows.
