Bocce

Bocce is a game and sport played with iron balls.

Bocce is an Italian word, its French equivalent is Boule and its English equivalent is Bowls. In Italy, the word Bocce is used to refer to all three game systems Raffa, Boule (Volo) and Petanque.

The aim of the game is to ensure that the balls you throw/roll are close to the target ball (pallino). A point is scored for each ball thrown closer to the target ball than the opponent's balls and the player who scores 15 points wins the game (match). If the opponent's ball is closer to the target ball and it is impossible for you to roll it, you can also shoot to hit the target ball or the opponent's ball.
