Calcio storica is a very violent ball game you've never heard of, played only in one city in Italy for centuries.
the town of Florence is divided into four quarters. What team you're on is decided by what quarter you live in, and you have to either be born in the city or live there for more than ten years to play.
There are only three games once a year to find a winning team between the four quarters.
No prize money.
Choking, headbutts, punching and kicking, all legal.
If you want to watch a half hour documentary on it, watch the first episode of the documentary series, "Home Game" on Netflix, Fascinating
