Bill Marinelli and Dianna Hanken-Hu had the vision to bring bocce to the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon. Bocce is not just a game, it is intrinsic to the culture of Italy...
As the Pearl District continues to emerge and define its place in the city, it is striving for an european culture; so that one may sip upon a glass of wine while sitting at the cusp of a piazza playing bocce with their friends.
