There is a bocce ball court on Gabriele Corcos' property where Nonna Lola used to play all the time, but since Gabriele moved to the states, the court has fallen apart. Now, he wants to repair it and bring it back to its former glory. When it's ready, he gets the whole family out there, including Nonna Lola, for a big feast and inaugural bocce ball tournament to officially open the court again.

And for an added treat, Gabriele will take the whole family to the medieval town of Colle di Val d'Elsa, Italy, to learn how to make Lola's favorite cookies, Ricciarelli's, and bring a bunch back for the party.
