June in Florence

The Calcio Storico in Piazza Santa Croce

June is all about the Calcio Storico and Feast of San Giovanni. Unfortunately the Calcio Storico dates were moved up this year! The first 2 matches were played over the weekend, which leaves just the final on June 15th!

The Feast of San Giovanni is still on the 24th however, and the culmination of this holiday is the amazing fireworks show “I fochi di San Giovanni”, best seen from one of Florence’s bridges. Below is a vintage poster for the event:

The Mille Miglia also takes place in June but this year does not go through Florence - again - not sure why this has changed!

There are plenty of ongoing exhibits also:

Anselm Kiefer's "Fallen Angels" at the Palazzo Strozzi (ends July 21, 2024)
"Returns. From Modigliani to Morandi." at the Museo Novecento (ends September 15, 2024)
"Salvatore Ferragamo 1898 - 1960" at the Ferragamo Museum (ends November 04, 2024)
