The Kennedy bocce club from Piazzolla di Nola brought glory to Campania at the Italian Absolute Unified Championships held in San Giovanni in Persiceto (BO) on November 30 and December 1. The event, organized by the Italian Bocce Federation, featured two Campanian pairs competing for the national title in the Raffa specialty.
An all-Campanian final
Following an extraordinary performance, the pairs Carmine La Marca and Luigi Coppola and Michele La Marca and Giuseppe Pappacena reached the final. Michele La Marca (born in 1989) and Giuseppe Pappacena (born in 1992) emerged as Italian champions with a hard-fought 10-6 victory over their teammates. Despite the defeat, Carmine La Marca and Luigi Coppola’s second place remains a remarkable achievement for the Campanian club.
Other Campanian achievements
Campania also celebrated another significant result: Pasquale Sequino from ASD F. Frezza of Giugliano secured third place in the Men’s Individual category of the Raffa specialty. The tournament hosted over 200 athletes competing in the Raffa, Volo, and Petanque disciplines, with 12 titles up for grabs.
