Pétanque

Tense silence, eyes fixed on the target, and then… the throw. A sharp, decisive strike, and the steel boule glides over the packed earth, inching toward the “jack” in a precise, measured dance. This is Pétanque, a game of precision and concentration, passionately played by the Bocciofila Veronese and now a symbol of connection between generations.
Born in southern France, pétanque has also arrived in Verona, finding a place in clubs and green spaces where time slows down and every move becomes art. It is played outdoors, on open, dusty courts where a steady hand, strategy… and a touch of instinct matter most.
At the heart of the game lies the relationship: among teammates, opponents, those who throw, and those who watch. Bocciofila Veronese carries this tradition forward with care and pride, keeping alive a space where the game is a common language, ageless and timeless.
