I came across some Bocce videos on you tube that I thought were fun to see. Ever wonder how Bocce is played in other places?
Here is an exciting video from just 30 miles South, watch the energy there on the last shot for the Championship:

I found this one fascinating from Rome, New York during the 2008 World series. I was shocked to see so many people actually standing on the court as if it is a normal thing there. I wonder how many ankles injuries happen there?:

From Sweden, here is a video of a different form of Bocce, called, Pétanque. Pétanque is most common in France, but is spreading to other countries as you can see in this video. In this form of Bocce, the player typically lobs the metal Bocce ball in the air, a technique we in Big Pine call a "War Ball". This is really fun to watch. This guy is amazing!
From Italy, the country where Bocce gets its Roots, The 2008 World Championships. There is a some beautiful plays!
