The owners are enthusiastic Italians and are excited about welcoming our group. www.campodibocce.com. We will have full use of their private parking lot in the front of the restaurant and security guards will be provided to keep an eye on the cars.

We will enjoy outside dining alongside three reserved state-of-the-art Bocce courts amid vine covered arbors and Cypress trees. We will receive instruction in the game of Bocce for those that need it! Its fun and oh, so Italian!

The reunion will be photographed extensively, and it will be featured in Joe's upcoming book on the Ferrari 288 GTO, to be published by Veloce in 2010.
