Calcio Storico is a 500-year-old sport played once a year on the square of
Santa Croce, in the center of Florence.
Four teams, each representing one of the city’s four historic neighborhoods
and known by a color — Bianchi for Santo Spirito, Rossi for Santa Maria
Novella, Azzurri for Santa Croce, and Verdi for San Giovanni — compete
against one another.
This book is published on the occasion of Zara Pfeifer’s residency at C/O
BARDI, when she followed the Bianchi team in their training leading up to the
match against the Rossi on June 2, 2024.
