Blazing with period color, this rare linen-era chromolithograph card from Florence documents the Calcio Storico Fiorentino — the historic Renaissance football game played in full 16th-century costume on the Piazza della Signoria — with muscular players in slashed doublets and hose lunging for a leather ball before a packed crowd, Michelangelo's David presiding impassively in the background. The Calcio Storico, revived by Mussolini in 1930 as a nationalist spectacle linking Fascist Italy to Florentine glory, makes this card a layered cultural artifact: sport, propaganda, and civic pageantry fused into one vivid image. Published by Ediz. Pratesi of Florence (Riproduzione vietata), the card has never been mailed and retains vibrant color typical of quality Italian chromolithography of the 1930s. Collectors of Italian sports history, Florentine ephemera, and Fascist-era visual culture will all find this card compelling.
