西维吉尼亚的义大利常规节庆
地方性遗产
什么是boccie？Boccie或bocce
(发音为bah-chee)是一种义大利式的室外保龄球；Boccie一般在草地或沙地上进行，场地长约75英尺、宽约8英尺且四边高起，可单打或组队进行。每名队员或每队朝着一个名叫boccino或pallino的小靶球轮流滚动四个球(球的直径约4到5英吋)，比赛谁的球最靠近那个靶球；所有的球都滚完后，一回合就算告终，凡较对方队员的球更靠近者靶球者就算得一分；每队每回合最高可得四分。
1900年代早期，Boccie极受义大利移民喜爱。煤矿公司征召了许多义大利人来开采西维吉尼亚州的煤矿，其他人则在铁道及农田上工作。西维吉尼亚的常规节庆是为了保存及向新一代的人展示义大利的文化常规，节庆的举办地点是克拉克斯堡(Clarksburg)，而举办时间则为劳工日(Labor
Day)的那个周末。节庆内容包括了真正的义大利舞者、义大利宗教仪式、巡回演出的吟游诗人及绝对会有的bocce锦标赛。
What is boccie? Boccie, or bocce (pronounced "bah-chee") is an Italian bowling game usually played outside. Boccie is played on a court, also called a campo, that is about 75 feet long by 8 feet wide, enclosed with raised sides. Players can play individually or on teams. Each player or team rolls four bocce balls (4 to 5 inches in diameter), toward a smaller ball, called the boccino, or pallino. The object is to roll the ball closer to the pallino than an opponent's ball. When all balls have been played, it is the end of the frame. A team is awarded one point for every ball that is closer to the pallino than the nearest opposing ball. A team may score up to four points per frame.
Boccie was popular with many of the thousands of Italian immigrants who came to America in the early 1900s. Coal mining companies recruited many Italians to work in the deep mines of West Virginia; others found work on railroads and farms. The West Virginia Heritage Festival was founded to preserve and present Italian cultural traditions for new generations. This festival is held in Clarksburg, West Virginia, on Labor Day weekend. The festival includes authentic Italian dancers, Italian religious observances, strolling minstrels, and, of course, a bocce tournament.
