Bocce, the Fip president, De Sanctis: “Coni, now reforms are urgently needed”

The president of the Italian Bocce Federation, Marco Giunio De Sanctis, analyzes the current moment that Italian sport is experiencing. In May, the top management of Coni and Cip, the two sports organizations which saw the confirmation of the presidency, respectively, of Giovanni Malagò and Luca Pancalli, were renewed. “The National Elective Assemblies of Coni and of the CIP have completed the mosaic of Italian sport – the comment of the federal president Marco Giunio De Sanctis -. At the CIP the confirmation at the top of Luca Pancalli was taken for granted, considering that he had a very competitor in front of him. little known (Fabrizio Vignali, ed) “.” Few surprises at the end of the elections of the Italian Paralympic Committee – commented De Sanctis -. Well the inclusion of Fernando Zappile, president of Fipic, considering that wheelchair basketball is one of the most widespread and renowned disciplines. To the elected vice-presidency Tiziana Nasi, who with Paola Fantato, Sara Morganti, Patrizia Sannino and Patrizia Saccà complete the women’s team ”.

The other members of the CIP Board for the four-year period 2021-2024 are: the vicar vice-president Roberto Valori, Remo Breda, Sandrino Porru, Marzio Scarzella, Daniele Cassioli, Riccardo Vernole and Massimo Porciani. “The old guard reconfirmed in the council and supported by the new entries will be able to complete the path of the CIP as a public body – continued De Sanctis -. At the same time, I also believe it is right to start thinking, for the next four years, of the renewal of the ruling class of the Italian Paralympic Committee, both nationally and territorially. The prevalence of the current managers is represented by people of depth who, for many years, have been working for the CIP, preparing everything they could give to the sports organization ”. “The major innovations were registered at CONI – said the president of the FIB -. Two women were the most voted and hold the positions of deputy vice-president (Silvia Salis, ed), and vice-president (Claudia Giordani, ed). Norma Gimondi was also elected to the Giunta, while among the men we should mention the dean Luciano Rossi (skeet shooting), Luciano Buonfiglio (canoe) and the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, not considering that football, in my opinion, he cannot not be a member of the board of the highest body “.

Reforms are urgently needed

“The victory of president Giovanni Malagò was overwhelming – the words of the president of Federbocce -. I hope that, now, the Giunta thinks seriously about the reforms and asserts its specific weight with respect to concept politics in the National Council. It must be Coni. to dictate the reform agenda, starting with governance. I repeat myself, the most effective model is that the high level and Olympic sport must be supervised and receive contributions from the Coni, while Sport e Salute must deal with disbursing funds, supervising on their use, for grassroots, social and promotional sport. “” Among the most imminent reforms, it is necessary to establish, once and for all, the public or private nature of the Sports Federations, reviewing the organic plan of the latter, which have years – De Sanctis urges -. It would be necessary to reassess the allowances of federal presidents, who, due to the role held, are exposed to civil, administrative and criminal uta relevance “. Returning to the CIP, for the president De Sanctis “the Italian Paralympic Committee is still called to do a lot from the point of view of start-up, considering the potential of the Paralympic sport, it being understood that it has already achieved so much from this point of view”. Finally, De Sanctis also looks to the more or less distant future of Italian sport, “destined for a merger between the Olympic Committee and the Paralympic Committee, on the basis of the US model. The future is a unique path, a common home, with two departments to carry out their respective activities. But a substantial cultural growth will be needed for this ”.
