Bocce also harks back to the age of the Roman Empire when it was first created. For all their glory, when we ask, “What did the Romans do for us?”, we can confirm that they gave us the great gift of bocce, which subsequently led to this new European craze. With each nation having its own interpretation, the art that started with bocce has only thrived. Men and women of all ages enjoy socialising and lobbing balls on Sunday afternoons, and that is something that has not and will not change throughout the ages.
If you are looking for a bocce master, look no further than Xavier Majorel, who is quite the magician with his bocce. You can watch him in action in the video below.
If this article has in any way inspired you, I and members of La Civetta’s sports contributors would be more than willing to put our ball skills to the test! Email me at [email protected] for a match.
