The Bonvicino Sporting Scene

Little known fact: an extremely popular sport, known only to the inhabitants, temporary or otherwise, of Villa San Lorenzo, is commonly known as Urn Ball. It is played primarily by adolescents or adults stuck in their adolescence. To prepare for this sport, one must have consumed a moderate quantity of wine. This wine must have been produced in the Langhe region of Piemonte. From the distance of the dinner table, each competitor wads his or her napkin into a ball and attempts, with the finesse known only to urn ballers, to launch the napkin wad into the urn adjacent to the dining table. It can often take many rounds for victory to occur.



When it does, well, all I can say is that there is nothing quite like the victory of the champion Urn Baller.
