+Festa di San Giovanni + Calcio Storico
–Heat and summer crowds both arrive
June is hot and busy, but it is also when Florence is most itself: Calcio Storico, the historic costumed football match, and the Festa di San Giovanni on 24 June, with fireworks over the Arno, both fall in this month.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
