[QUOTE="scrumhalf, post: 129746"] In Italy, in Florence, we have a very violent game which is called Calcio Storico Fiorentino (Florentine Historical Football). It dates back to Renaissance and it appears to derive from the "Harpastum" played in ancient Rome. As you can see in the YouTube movies, it is a kind of football, handball, wrestling and even boxing all mixed together... The ball is spherical, you can pass it in any direction, by hands or by feet, and you score one point if you put it in the opposition's goal, and you concede half a point if you try to score but miss the goal (throwing the ball high, out of the pitch). Due to the excessive violence, in recent years it has been banned by the Town Major... Maybe WWE rugby is more acceptable <_< [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsRqSNSjy3E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsRqSNSjy3E[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vivRVyg_cks"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vivRVyg_cks[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTOTnDpWJAk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTOTnDpWJAk[/url] I definitely prefer rugby union :lol: Ciao Francesco [/QUOTE]
