"Success is its own reward" but then again I would guess that after your head kicked in for 50 minutes straight you start looking for reasons to explain why you did it ... by the way is this a locals only thing? Seems like it would be the most painfully fun thing ever

You have to be born in Florence in order to play and not have a criminal record.
