Campo di Bocce, the Bay Area’s premier Bocce facility and restaurant, celebrates it’s 25th anniversary!
The original idea for Campo di Bocce was born when Tom Albanese and his family were vacationing in Campobasso, Italy, the home of Tom’s ancestors. He saw the residents playing Bocce and families enjoying a meal at the local Bocciodromo (a large building with Bocce courts, a restaurant, bar and a children’s play area). Tom immediately thought it a great idea that might work for families in his hometown of Los Gatos.
When he returned, Tom described the concept to his friends of the local Los Gatos Bocce Club, and found many of them interested in investing in the concept. "A place where friends and families could come, learn to play the Bocce and enjoy a great Italian meal,” says Albanese.
With investors and his own funds ready to go, he found an old lumberyard in downtown Los Gatos, perfect for the opportunity, and Campo di Bocce was born. The rest is a 25-year history of success. Campo di Bocce has been the center for growth of the sport of bocce in the West.
“From family gatherings and corporate team-building events, to the annual Madden-Mariucci Bocce tournament, raising over $8,000,000 for charities throughout the years, Campo di Bocce has been Tom’s dream come true,” says Ben Musolf, COO. “Campo di Bocce has proven that anyone, any age can learn and enjoy the sport that’s played by more than 30 million enthusiasts worldwide".
