"Game of Civettino (a Birth Salver)" is a notable work by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi, commonly known as Lo Scheggia, an Italian painter of the early Renaissance period. This piece, created in the mid-15th century, exemplifies the tradition of birth trays (deschi da parto) that were popular in Florence during this era. Birth trays were gifted to mothers around the time of childbirth as celebratory objects, often decorated with scenes emblematic of fertility, good fortune, and the joys of motherhood.

The "Game of Civettino" stands out for its depiction of a children's game, providing a unique glimpse into the recreational activities and social customs of Renaissance Italy. The artwork is characterized by its detailed portrayal of figures engaged in the game, set against a landscape that reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the period. Lo Scheggia's use of vibrant colors and his ability to capture the dynamism of the scene contribute to the piece's visual appeal and historical significance.

As a brother to the more famous Masaccio, Lo Scheggia carved out his own niche in the art world with works like the "Game of Civettino." This particular birth salver is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance, offering insights into the traditions surrounding childbirth and child-rearing during the Renaissance. Today, the piece is recognized as an important artifact in the study of Italian Renaissance art, contributing to our understanding of the period's social and cultural practices.
