The weather station is active since May 11, 2019 (this article explains the installation event). For more information: info@pibinko.org.

Palla a 21 (or palla eh!)

Palla a 21 (or palla eh!) is an ancient hand ball game. It is currently played in six tiny hamlets in Southern Tuscany, between Siena and Grosseto, in Ciciano, Piloni, Scalvaia, Tirli, Torniella, and Vetulonia.

Pibinko.org is developing the activities promoted by Attivarti.org between 2011 and 2018, and started by a more informal version of the pibinko.org network in 2007-2008 with the extremely creative palla a 21 in Chicago project, and the subsequent photo exhibitions in Ribolla and San Francisco, including a photo contest.

In addition to the promotion of the game during the Summer tournaments (July-August), pibinko.org has been managing some specific initiatives about the game. All of these have been conducted together with the communities where the game is played.

For more information about the game you may also check the related wikipedia page, but we encourage you to review our list of blog posts on the palla topic (and reload the page to see the items in a different order):

Places


In this section you can see places where I have been active with projects and events.

The locations are classified in four categories, from “local” to “global”, and considering the hub in the Metalliferous Hills of Southern Tuscany, about two hours South of Florence (or three hours North of Rome).
Then again, it is not infrequent to find “global” aspects of “local” operations and vice versa. Clisk on an item below to see a more detailed list:
