Rain or shine, soccer is the sport in Italy. The soccer played today, or football as it is called in Europe, is based on the standardization of the rules that started in mid-19th century public schools in England when different schools played different forms of soccer. One old form of a ball game played in Italy was calcio. The sport started in Florence in about the 16th century. Two teams of 27 played calcio with the feet and hands. The object was to score goals by throwing the ball over a designated spot on the perimeter of the field. Calcio started as a game for rich aristocrats, who played every night between Epiphany and Lent. In the Vatican, even popes played. Calcio had international impact due to the important people who played it in Italy. This impact reached England as we can see from British schoolmaster Richard Mulcaster mentioning an English version of soccer that Calcio influenced. The mention was in Mulcaster's 1561 treatise on the education of the young. Games like soccer and calcio that involve kicking a ball go back for hundreds of years in Europe and even earlier in China. According to FIFA, the "very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise of precisely this skilful technique dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC in China (the game of cuju)." These boys are continuing this long tradition.
