During that I came upon this obscure version called Storico Calcio (or historical Calcio/football). It's only played in Florence and there are only 4 teams bashing it out at an annual tournament.
The interesting aspect of this football game is that it has literally “no rules”. Anything goes. And they have to carry the ball from one side of the field to the other where there is a line of goals like an end-zone.
It's kind of fascinating how human beings behave in such an environment, and it's funny because it plays out exactly like BB the boardgame

Here's a Youtube video of a full match from 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-B2EFxQ8fU
You don't have to watch the whole 50 minutes but you may check out the, let's say, first 5 minutes, skip a little and then watch the last 10 minutes, just to get an impression. To me it's just funny how much it looks like the boardgame, and it's funny to get an idea of how to possibly imagine the boardgame, would it be in motion. It's really close to the “real thing”. (guess, what the final score is

If you're interested in the background of storico calcio there are some documentaries. They are often made for hooligans (“violence makes us good people” romantic) but this one is OK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjDmNGXtKQg. It's a bit cheesy (“As I made my way through the vibrant streets of Florence”
