The reason is simple: it evokes <strong>memories of my childhood <\/strong>and adolescence.<\/p>\n\n<p>I was born and raised in this area where <strong>every town has<\/strong> its own bowling alley and bocce courts. I remember that in the summer evenings, in the beautiful period of the fifties with loud mufflers to be clear, <strong>snacks and evenings with friends<\/strong> often had as background accompaniment the <strong>&#8220;sound<\/strong>&#8221; <strong>of a game of bocce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-5-1400x875.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-5-1400x875.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-5-900x563.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-5-550x344.jpeg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The fact that I know very little about this game should perhaps have deterred me from accepting the assignment to write this article.

The first bowling association, the &#8220;Cricca bocciofila dei martiri,&#8221; was founded in <strong>Turin in 1873<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>In <strong>1898<\/strong>, also in Turin at the <strong>International Exhibition<\/strong>, the birth of the Unione Bocciofila Piemontese marked the beginning of the modern era of the sport in Italy.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to being <strong>the first federation of the game of bocce<\/strong>, it has been an important <strong>social aggregator<\/strong> that has also promoted the recreational and competitive aspect of this discipline.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-nel-campo-1400x667.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261569\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Bocce courts are still today, although not as they once were,<strong> meeting places<\/strong> where people of all ages play, socialize and <strong>keep traditions alive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shots, specialties, rules and scoring<\/h2>\n\n<p>Today bocce competitions are divided into <strong>four categories<\/strong>: A, B, C, D. At the end of the year, the <strong>Technical Committees <\/strong>of each Regional, Provincial and Territorial Committee <strong>define promotions or relegations <\/strong>based on the <strong>scores obtained by players<\/strong> during the various competitions.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the raffa specialty, players can make <strong>two types of shots<\/strong>: the raffata, a grazing shot, and the <strong>volo<\/strong>, a <strong>parabola shot<\/strong>. The flying technique is practiced on clay or asphalt <strong>fields<\/strong> covered with <strong>fine gravel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-3-1400x875.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-3-1400x875.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-3-900x563.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bocce-3-550x344.jpeg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>P\u00e9tanque<\/strong>, similar to flying, is practiced on various terrains and can be played individually or in teams (pairs, triplets, or squares). This activity requires <strong>skill and strategy<\/strong>, and players must remain stationary within a circle 35-50 cm in diameter. <\/p>\n\n<p>The goal is to place one&#8217;s bowls <strong>as close as possible to the smallest ball<\/strong> thrown initially. Points are awarded according to the distance of the bowls to the ball.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today the federation&#8217;s disciplines include <strong>Paralympic bocce<\/strong> and <strong>beach bocce<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Face to face with a European champion: the story of Marco Gamba<\/h2>\n\n<p>Marco Gamba is a <strong>former professional player<\/strong>, a champion with a <strong>great career behind<\/strong> him: in his 20 years in the big leagues, he played with some <strong>real legends<\/strong>, won <strong>nine<\/strong> titles between championships and cups, including the<strong> European championship<\/strong> title with Tubosider, which is the <strong>pinnacle of his journey<\/strong> in the federation.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-md\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Squadra-Gamba-900x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Squadra-Gamba-900x563.jpg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Squadra-Gamba-550x344.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marco Gamba, first down from the left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>In the long chat we had, in an <strong>excited tone<\/strong>, Marco told me about <strong>several games<\/strong>, the relationship with teammates and the sponsor, the bitterness of some defeats and the difficulties of certain choices.<\/p>\n\n<p>He is<strong> <\/strong>able to <strong>convey his passion to me <\/strong>with <strong>extraordinary power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From First Medals to National Triumphs<\/h3>\n\n<p>Marco <strong>played ball<\/strong> as a young boy, but soon chose to switch to bocce because he was inspired by his <strong>dad<\/strong>, a decent player who <strong>taught himand passed on this interest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <strong>age 9<\/strong>, Marco won his first <strong>gold medal<\/strong>, and at age 16 on the Rivoli team, he won his <strong>first Italian championship <\/strong>in the student category.
