The national pairs bocce competition during the week of the patron saint's festival
The Trofeo Madonna del Carmine is the bocce competition that accompanies the celebrations for the patron saint of Riccia (CB) every year. Organised by the ASD Bocciofila Riccese, the tournament is a national pairs competition traditionally held in the week before July 16th, the day of Madonna del Carmine.
