The “Gioco del Ponte” is a historical re-enactment that takes place on the last Saturday of the month of June and which includes two fundamental moments: the historical parade along the Lungarni, the streets of Pisa, and the battle on the “Ponte di Mezzo” ( the bridge located in the middle of the city centre) which provides a fight between the two historical teams of the city: Tramontana and Mezzogiorno.
The victory goes to the team that, pushing the opponent’s cart at the opposite end of the sliding rail, remains the owner of the bridge.
