Article Title: Calcio Storico
Festival Name: Calcio Storico
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Sport - Football, Sport - Bizarre, Bizarre
Steeped in almost 500 years of tradition and described loosely as a mix between football and rugby - with a good dose of bare-knuckle boxing added to the mix - Calcio Storico is not a game for those who flinch at the site of blood.
Article Title: Carnevale Di Venezia: Baby It's Cold Outside
Festival Name: Carnival of Venice
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
My Venetian friends had invited me to come to Venice for Carnevale, saying I could use a studio apartment kept for family and friends. This was an offer I couldn't refuse, so I arranged my schedule to be in Venice the last week of Carnevale.
Article Title: Game of the Bridge
Festival Name: Game of the Bridge
Festival Country: Italy

Rival teams from different quarters of Pisa fought for symbolic
possession of a bridge over the Arno River. In those times, the games
often degenerated into brutal and bloody man to man fighting.
Article Title: Il carnevale d'Ivrea - Ivrea Carnival
Festival Name: Il carnevale d'Ivrea - Ivrea Carnival
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Bizarre, Party
That fight for liberty is recreated with the Battles of the Oranges, which substitute stones. Italy exceeds its production quota of oranges as agreed within the EEC (the European Economic Community) , so the excess needs to be destroyed (just to keep up the retail price). My co-citizens cooperate in the difficult path towards a unified Europe by helping to smash some oranges.

is the patron saint of Pisa, the buildings along the Arno River are
transformed into a fantastical fairyland setting.
Article Title: Food and Wine Tasting in North-West Italy
Festival Name: Montà Food and Wine Festival
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Food and Wine, Wine, Food
It was on my very first trip to Italy where I stumbled on this food and wine tasting adventure to rival all others. An annual celebration - 2003 being its tenth anniversary - it was only by chance that I happened to be in Italy during the last weekend of May to catch up with two old school friends from Australia, one of whom was Italian.
Article Title: Sagra di'Pinolo - The Pine Nut Festival
Festival Name: Sagra di'Pinolo - The Pine Nut Festival

A couple of years ago, on our last evening in Florence, our friend Monique crammed us into her Fiat and took us for a short drive, just a few minutes away from the city. The place was Chiesanuova, the time was mid-June, and the celebration was the Sagra di'Pinolo -- the Pine Nut festival.
Article Title: Siena Palio
Festival Name: Siena Palio
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Sport - Equestrian, Sport - Bizarre, Traditional
It was Palio, the biggest event in a Sienese year. When the local contrada's (districts) take to the track with their finest horses and race for a coveted silk banner. When horses become Gods, passions are high and the square fills with the excitement of a race for glory.

Article Title: Venice Carnevale
Festival Name: Venice Carnevale
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
I went to Venice for two nights during Carnevale and stayed a week. The only reason I left was because it ended. I felt like a character in Ernest Hemmingway's "The Sun Also Rises", unable to decipher day from day or hour from hour.
