Festa di San Giovanni & Calcio Storico Fiorentino:
Every year on 24 June, Florence celebrates Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of the city. Festivities include the fireworks from 22.00 till 23:00 (best watched from the banks of the Arno river) and the final match of the historical costumed football games (›Calcio Storico Fiorentino‹, which some claim to be the true origin of modern football) in Piazza Santa Croce.
