Could be you in battle<\/b><\/p>\n

An historic event known\u00a0 as Il Gioco del Ponte is a colourful and violent ritual where two opposing camps fight over the town’s main bridge, an event which dates back to the Middle Ages.\u00a0 That’s how it once was.\u00a0 These days the event is more of an endurance course rather than a blood thirst battle.\u00a0 Get to the location early in the day and grab a good spot to catch the marching, the ‘battle’ and the huge military parade.\u00a0 Best advice I can give is to go visit www.comune.pisa.it<\/a> or contact the Italian Government Tourist Office in Sydney.\u00a0 The email address is Sydney@enit.it<\/a> or telephone (02) 9262 1666.\u00a0 It all happens the last Sunday in June.<\/p>\n
