Among them Roberto Baggio.
The evening hosted by Federica Masolin and Pierluigi Pardo gave the institutional representatives the opportunity to illustrate their recipes for the sport of the future.
President Mezzaroma spoke about the role of Sport and Health in schools, in the suburbs (starting with the redevelopment works in Caivano), in plant engineering, in major events and in collaboration with sports bodies and amateur sports associations for the promotion of sport. “Ours is a purpose company, the operational arm of the State: we contribute to creating situations thanks to which the greatest possible number of people can play sport – underlined Mezzaroma -. Starting from the care of systems, even in schools, where we are working on the recovery of unconventional spaces, courtyards and disused classrooms, to quickly create places for physical activity. Sport also has a cultural value and must be accessible to everyone. The Festival, in this sense, shares our mission.”
