It's always game day at the South Beach Bocce Ball courts on Staten island, where some of the players come twice a day, every day of the week. "I'm 82. It keeps me going I love it," explained Anthony Pucciarelli.Mark Defazio says he's retired like everyone else playing.
"I'm the youngest guy here. I'm in my 50s," Defazio said. But on this day, Julio Vincent Gambuto, age 42, is also playing. Gambuto grew up on Staten Island and spent a lot of time at the city’s Bocce Ball courts, first researching and then shooting a movie, "Team Marco."
