A history of bocce, with an account of how the game is played.
http://www.hickoksports.com/history/bocce.shtml

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents Bocce is the Italian version of lawn bowling. The earliest known form of the sport was a game played in the Italian Alps, early in the Christian Era, in which stones were tossed at a target stonenot necessarily to hit it, but to land as close as possible to it. This was a major amusement for Roman soldiers, who spread it through the empire. Balls were eventually substituted for the stones and they were usually rolled rather than tossed. Three distinct types of lawn bowling developed through the centuries. In France, the game was known as boules , from the Classical Latin word for ball. A different form of the sport became known in England as "lawn bowls". Bocce, also known as boccia, derived its name from the Vulgar Latin word for ball, bottia Italian immigrants brought bocce to the United States. Its original centers of popularity were New York City and San Francisco because of their large Italian-American populations. But, as newer generations grew away from the sport, bocce declined and seemed in danger of extinction in this country. The sport experienced a small resurgence, mainly in California, during the 1970s and it's grown rapidly during the last decade. The center of the sport in the U. S. is Martinez, California, which has more than a thousand competitors in league play and many more who simply play for fun.

Originating in Italy centuries ago, Bocce has since been adopted in dozens of countries by those who enjoy the competitiveness, skills and strategies of the game. But Bocce can also be fun for a first-time player and that's part of its attraction: The rules are simple and easy to understand, the equipment is inexpensive and easily maintained, the game can be played by anyone, of any age, games go quickly, and Bocce can be played indoors or out.

It is now gaining popularity in the United States since it can be played by people of all ages and on a great variety of surfaces. Bocce is played between two players or two teams of up to four players on a team. Bocce is played with 8 large balls, 4 of one color, 4 of another color and one small target ball called the "Jack," or "Pallino." Players seek to place their Bocce Balls nearer to the target jack than their opponent or displace the opponent's Bocce Ball and so improve the position of their Bocce Ball in relation to the Jack, (Pallino). Bocce can be played in a variety of ways using various rules. OPEN BOCCE CLOSED COURT BOCCE There are certain added rules and methods of play defined by the court layout.

http://www.mindspring.com/~jlock/bocce.html

Extractions: Since I can't find any other bocce resources on the Net, I'll just have to put up what I know about the game and what I can glean from the rule book. So, all you folks who've e-mailed me over the last couple of months, here ya go! Bocce has been around since the Roman Empire and conjures visions of old Italian men wiling away warm Mediterranean afternoons discussing politics and drinking red wine. I'm neither old nor Italian, but I have wiled away many an afternoon with friends discussing politics and drinking beer while playing bocce ;-) Bocce is closely related to lawn bowling. To the best of my knowledge, the biggest difference is that bocce is played on a hard-surface court with a backstop at each end, while lawn bowling is played on grass with a relatively free-form "court". By this definition many folks are lawn bowling since very few constructed bocce courts exist in the U.S. The following set of rules are condensed from the official guide published by the International Bocce Association. Many variations exist, and I play a very relaxed set of rules in keeping with tradition. For tournament play, consult the official guide (see end of document). The Courts For lawn bowling, you don't really use a court. Just choose any space of lawn that's large and reasonably level. Then step off about 20 adult paces and use that as a good playing distance.

Ciao Bella! Bocce, Italian Greyhound Extraordinaire...
Hep IG wants to be a super model when she grows up, and provides her puppy and most recent portfolio.
http://www.poprocks.com/bocce/

Extractions: My breed's history: The Italian Greyhound is the smallest of the family of gazehounds (dogs that hunt by sight). The breed is believed to have originated more than 2,000 years ago in the Mediterranean basin, possibly in the countries now known as Greece and Turkey. Italian Greyhounds were the favorite breed of various royal and aristocratic families, including Frederick the Great of Prussia, Catherine the Great of Russia, and England's Queen Victoria. Someone told Jess that the phrase "Beware of Dog" originated in Italy or Greece in response to Italian Greyhounds. As you might imagine, the phrase didn't have quite the same meaning that it does today. As the legend goes, signs saying "Beware of Dog" were placed on the gates of houses so that visitors would be careful not to step on or kick the household's beloved IG. Some of my favorite websites: Italian Greyhound Club of America My girl Jess only loves me because I'm beautiful. She exploits me by forcing me to pose for photos all the time . When I was a pup, I used to want to be a model/actress and bask in the glow of international fame, but now that I'm older and wiser I think I'll settle for a good old fashioned life of leisure.
