The Addition of Bocce Ball as an Olympic sport

Bocce Ball, the world’s oldest sport, a sport known to revive the body and mind, and next to soccer, the most popular game in the world. Throwing balls toward a target is the oldest game known to mankind. As early as 5000 B.C. the Egyptians played a form of bocce with polished rocks. Graphic representations of figures tossing a ball or polished stone have been recorded as early as 5200 B.C

Throw out a pallino and become part of the long heritage of the game from great thinkers such as Galileo and da Vinci, to rulers Augustus and Queen Elizabeth, to the noble Sir Francis Drake and even America’s own George Washington.

Truly, this simple game is enjoyed by all humans, no matter the class, all over the world and the time has come to honor this sport as an Olympic Sport.
