Bocce players

Corona Park in Queens has been taken over by the Italian bocce players. Who knows how many silly city ordinances have been ignored. They see these regulations as if they were still in Italy where rules and regulations are always ready to be broken or bent to accommodate the needs of the moment. Ar any rate, these players were having a great time and their verbal statements were very colorful. These photos date from the summer 0f 1986 when I was documenting the various Little Italys in New York City.
