From an itinerary.
I get only the verb, "to tumble, fall" when I look it up in various online dictionaries.
Thanks,
Peter

ruzzola players
I am afraid there is no translation. It is a game where people roll round pieces of wood or a whole cheese.

In these areas the production of Tuscan Pecorino PDO has always been so entrenched and important from a social point of view that, to this day, people still play a game called ruzzola, which consists of rolling big mature Pecorino cheeses along the ground.

"Ruzzola" is the local version of the noble and ancient sport of cheese-rolling. Why not keep the Italian term, as Cynthia suggests, with the English in brackets?
