Testimonial of the Marche Region, with which the Country club has signed a collaboration, will challenge the big names in sports and television. The event is from 19 to 22 August
He led the Italian national team to conquer the European champion cup. But Roberto Mancini is a great tennis (and paddle) fan and he should be the super guest of the 2021 edition of the Savoia cup.
The event, organized by the Country club, will take place from 19 to 22 August and will see some big names in sport and television compete on clay courts. Almost certainly there will also be Roberto Mancini, also because this year the Country has signed a collaboration with the Marche Region, which will bring its excellence to Cortina. And Mancini is the testimonial of the Region. His participation in the Savoia cup is almost certain.
THE PROTAGONISTS
A great coup for Andrea Mantegazza and Paola Bergamo, managers of the Country club. The Savoia cup is one of the events that animate the club in summer. An initiative that has always garnered the enthusiasm of the public, because it is not every day to be able to meet the great champions of blue sport and television personalities.
This year they have already confirmed their participation in the tournament Luca Marchegiani (former goalkeeper of the national football team, also testimonial of the Marche Region); the tennis player Filippo Volandri, a friend of the Ampezzo club; the journalist of Striscia la Notizia Jimmy Ghione and his colleague Moreno Morello; former Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese; Igor Cassina, Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics in Athens 2004; Fabio Meloccaro, Sky journalist; Mark Juliano, former Juventus and national team player. Adriano Panatta should not miss the appointment. Also announced the presence of some politicians, from all sides, but the names are strictly reserved.
NOT ONLY SPORT
“It will be a great edition”, comments the country club’s sole director, Andrea Mantegazza. «Even more than in previous years, there will be four days of absolute level between sport, culture and tourism. The pivot will be team sporting challenges, but there will also be prestigious collateral events ».
It starts on Thursday 19 in the conference room of the Tennis Country with the presentation of the book “In the best families”, by Angelo Mellone, deputy director of Rai 1. The regional councilor Elena Donazzan will participate. The following day (same place, at 6.30 pm), Roberto Michetti’s “Green Book of Raul Gardini” will be presented, the only one written on the Italian manager authorized by the Ferruzzi-Gardini family.
Also on the calendar are the awarding of the tenth edition of the Golden Squirrel (at the Grand Hotel Savoia) and the debut of the “Club delle Balete” conceived by the journalist Gianni Clerici to make known and keep alive the centuries-old history of tennis.
There will also be a charity auction for the Laureus Foundation, which deals with disadvantaged children through education and sport: memorabilia and objects made available by the greatest sports champions will be beaten.
