The bocce in the names
The pallino, or jack, is the small target ball. A side scores a point for each ball closer to it than the other side's best, and games usually run to between 7 and 13. Punto is a roll toward the pallino, raffa an aerial throw that lands and rolls on, volo a hit on the fly. Bocce balls have no bias, unlike lawn bowls.
