Mamma mia, Italy’s a great choice for a school sports tour. The Italians love their sport, especially football (calcio) and rugby (pallovale or rugby a 15), so finding local opposition to challenge your team is never a problem. And you can always look forward to a warm welcome.

Sports similar to football have been played in Italy since Roman times – which is probably why Italians are so good at it. They’ve won the World Cup four times.
