Florence

The match of the siege

A game to remember the siege of Florence

On 17 February 2018 will be "the match of the siege" in piazza Santa Croce to remember when, on the same date in the year 1530 during the siege of the troops of Charles V, the Florentines organized and played a ball game. This was done to respond with irony in the siege of Florence.

The match will see historical football teams confront the whites of the Oltrarno and Greens here d'arno.
