Calcio Fiorentino (also known as calcio storico "historic football") is an early form of football (soccer and rugby) that originated during the Middle Ages in Italy. 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 ("Florentine kick game") or simply calcio, which is now also the name for association football in the Italian language.

The game starts when the Pallaio (referee) throws the ball in the air towards the centre line, then at the first whistle, fifteen forwards or Corridori begin fighting in a wild and aggressive display designed to tire their opponents’ defences, but which often descends into an all-out brawl, as they try to pin down as many of the best players as possible. Once there are enough incapacitated players, the other teammates come in to grab the ball and head to the goal. This is followed by a small cannon firing which announces the beginning of the contest.
