Pienza Christmas 2011

"The game of panforte : A table, a hand-wrapped panforte and a lot of skill, as well as a little luck that never hurts. In turn, he launches and whoever comes closest to the edge of the table (or huts if he hangs in the balance) takes the point. If the panforte leaves the table, the roll is void."

"The Game takes place in the Piazza Pio II Loggiato del Comune and consists in throwing a panforte cake to a table, from 4-5 metres distance by the various teams. He who throws it closest to the edge of the table wins!"

"Historically, the game of Panforte was played in every farm during the Christmas holidays. Generally a Panforte was bought with a collection. It was used to play for whole evenings in the large kitchens with fireplaces of the farmhouses."

Pienza e il gioco del panforte

Un tavolo, un panforte incartato a mano e tanta abilità, oltre che ad un po' di fortuna che non guasta mai ...

I should edit what I write.

Don’t be concerned. Most of us just look at the photos.
