ROME (ITALPRESS) – Fencing gives, fencing receives. It is a virtuous binomial that between sport and tourism, an exchange that enhances as much an “itinerant” discipline in the development of its competitive activity as the territories that host it. To analyze and develop these issues, on February 10 and 11, the Italian Fencing Federation will participate in the International Tourism Exchange 2025 at the Fiera Milano-Rho. New location and also new institutional comparisons for the FIS, which, in addition to being present in the exhibition area with its own stand, will be the protagonist of three different panels dedicated to some of the highlights, national and international in scope, but also partnerships that have enriched relations and horizons of Italian fencing.

On the same day, at 1 p.m., again in Hall 9 but in BIT Room 2, the focus will shift to three stages of the Italian Championships 2025.
