Are
you game? FIERI Boston enjoys playing these traditional Italian games. We have annual bocce tournaments at our Spaghettata and Bocce BBQ events. We also have Italian card nights from time to time where we teach our members how to play. |

Bocce is Italian bowling. There are many other variations of bocce throughout the world (petong in France, bowls in England, etc.). You can play bocce on a grass surface, but the "official" tournament rules call for a special court of packed gravel. There are 3 such courts on Commercial St. in the North End for public use. In Italy, card games are very popular as well. Many games are played with a special "Napoletane" deck, which has 40 cards instead of the "American" 52-card deck. Some popular card games which use the 40-card deck are games are Scopa, Briscola, and Tre Sette. Tombola is the Italian version of Bingo. |
