Lippa is one of the most popular games in Italy. It is played with two sticks: a large one which is used to hit a smaller oval-shaped piece of wood.
Over the years, the Association has been working with numerous Lippa game communities, Italian and international, still playing the game to this day.
Lippa communities are set in Farigliano (CN), Milan, Lucca, Mede (PV), Feltre ( BL), Portogruaro (VE), Roncade (TV), Cesa Atella (EC), etc. The Association has also been working with Lippa game communities in Slovenia (Piran), Croatia (Pula), Spain (Catalonia and Galicia.)
The Veronese Community of S-Cianco is made up of men and women who preserve this activity by practising and teaching it. Founded in 2002, the community works together with Associazione Giochi Antichi. Through presentations at schools, oratories and associations, it has managed to involve many people and turn a simple game into an event for the city and the Region. Thanks to support from the local government, it has grown to become the biggest game community in Italy, and one of the most important in Europe.
The events organized throughout the Province are:
S-Cianco Tournament “Città di Verona”
Veronese S-Cianco Championship
International Lippa Tournament
From October 6, 2002 , date of the first S-Cianco tournament, to this day, more than 125 squares have hosted the game. Hundreds of players have played more than 1,500 matches and the streets have been closed to traffic.
