Coming from the Latin, bauca, a type of round vase used for water or wine, boccia is a bottle, pitcher, or carafe. The Italian noun is used frequently, mostly when referring to a bottle of alcohol or wine.
A boccia also refers to the ball that is tossed, or bowled when playing bocce ball: bocce is the plural of boccia. Still a fun and popular game, bocce ball was played all the way back in ancient Rome!
Example:
‘Porta una boccia di prosecco a cena.’ – Bring a bottle of prosecco to dinner.
Hi, you forget another way to use “boccia” in Rome !
It means also cut all hair off…let me make an example:
Ieri mi sono fatto la boccia !
Yesterday I cut all my hair off !
The smooth head in fact is associated to the boccia ball
Do you know if there is in english a similar way of saying ?
You forgot to mention the most common meaning of “bocce” by far.
