| Description: | Flickering, contrast in imagery is light In piazza Della Signoria, where tradition says sport originated, players garbed in 16th century attire boot and toss a sphere in continental version of grid battle. Fancy padded suits prove little hindrance to fast moving squads from two sides of River Arno; each is rough, ready and eager as American collegiate scoring - or dying - for dear old alma mater. | |
