The game was played by emperors, admirals, generals, poets, sculptors, scientists and popes.<\/p>\n<p>The name boccia is derived from the Latin bottia, meaning &#8220;boss&#8221;. From Caesar Augustus to Galileo Galilei, Italians throughout history have always heralded the sport for its athletic qualities and spirit of competition to rejuvenate the body. Playing boccia was also thought to effectively cure arthritis and rheumatism.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 30px;\"
