Description
Detail of a wooden block with holes for pegs used for keeping score during games of bocce on the wall of a bocce court in Little Italy, Baltimore. Bocce is a ball sport belonging to the boules family that is very popular in Italy and other Adriatic countries. It is closely related to the British bowls and French petanque, all of which developed from games played during the time of the Roman Empire. Italian immigrants brought the game to the USA, Baltimore's Little Italy neighborhood is still mostly populated by the descendants of Italian-American immigrants and is known for its strong Italian-American heritage.
