问题     The national delight in gregarious ritual means that hardly a day passes in Italy without some community of even a few hundred souls celebrating some village shaking event. Here are some of the most colorful festivals of Italian fiestas.
Florence’s Calcio in Costume:
    It has been played in the city since it was a Roman colony and it is said to be the ancestor of football. The game was originally Greek and was adopted by the Romans, who, in turn, introduced it in Florence. The ancient game has harsh rules and requires long training for the players. The rules were modified by the 1400’s, and for 2 centuries thereafter it was the pastime of nobles elegantly costumed in clothes with silver and gold trimmings. At the beginning of the 18th century the game lost its noble character and became the game of the people. Today this spectacular football game is played annually with much of antique glory revived.
Le Saga del Cuochi del Sangro:
    In villa Santa Maria, Aruzze, for three days every year in early October, gifted master chefs who hail from this small town return to their hometown to demonstrate their art in an appetizing festival that honors culinary talents stretching back to Renaissance.
Carnival, Virago, Tuscany:
    During the 3 weekends before lent, this summer seaside resort is a whirl of carnival costume, confetti and floats that climaxes during a grand Sunday afternoon parade of leering acumen, pert ma jorette, and immense floats that demonstrate coastal viareggio’s shipbuilding expertise.
Vendemmia del Nonno, Castagnole Monferrato Piedmont:
    The second Sunday of October, while the tangy odor of pressed grapes suffuses the streets of small towns all ova-Italy, this village enacts an authentic old fashioned grape harvest, a vendemmia del Nonno, the way grandfather used to do it. Family groups work together in the vineyards, heap carts high with the richly colored fruit, trample it with bare feet, and feast raucously at day’s end at a communality supper.
Maggio Musicale Florentirio, Florence:
    Programs at this event, Italy’s answer to the king of European music festivals at Salzburg, are so diverse that they seem a conscious attempt to avoid musical chauvinism: some of the concerts are held in the magical Boboli. Gardens lovely and guint essentially Italian, especially on a June evening. Despite a name that translates "Florentine Musical May", the going-on continue right through June.
