The wolf, symbol of the founding of the city of Rome, was used as an emblem on the posters for the 1960 olympic games in Rome. it has now also become an honorary symbol of the city. its extraordinary evocative power, therefore, symbolizes Rome that "takes a bite out of a Petanque ball", demonstrating the determination and pride with which the Italian Bocce Federation wishes to host and organise a prestigious and highly competitive world event.
