English: This bocce ball is made of metal with lines engraved in even patterns around it. It has a gold/brass colouring. Bocce balls are round in shape and they roll evenly without bias. Bocce is normally played on soil or asphalt courts measuring 20 to 27 metres in length and 2.5 to 4 metres wide. Wooden boards often surround the court. Players have to roll their bocce ball to try to get closest to a small white or yellow target ball called the pallino. Sometimes an opponent’s ball is knocked out of the way in the process. This game dates back to ancient Roman times. Bocce is played mainly in Southern Europe and was brought to countries around the world by Italian migrants.
