The fiolet requires a simple equipment: a large smooth and rounded pebble (the pira), an ovoid ball (the fiolet ) and a stick called or maciocca or masetta with the enlarged end to better hit the fiolet .
The playing field is triangular in shape and is at least 150 meters long. On the ground, starting from the stone from which the fiolet is thrown , concentric semicircles 15 meters apart are traced with chalk or sawdust; the poles, that is the rods marked by progressive numbers from 1 to 15, allow the counting of the points obtained after each launch.
The player places the fiolet on the stone, hits it lightly on the “beak” to make it splash in the air, then hit it on the fly and throw it as far as possible. The distance from the drop point of the fiolet to the large pebble is measured and gives rise to the score. Each team consists of five players, each of whom has thirty throws at their disposal.
