Borella is a bowling game played in northern Italy since at least the 16th century.
Borella was played in streets and parks around Treviso by ordinary people.
Borella is still played at the Club Marconi, Bossley Park, New South Wales, Australia.
Borella is traditionally played with a large ball made of wood from a maple tree.
To play the game a player stands 30 metres away from the pins, runs and throws the ball –a bit like a cricket bowler– to strike them at speed.
