FLORENCE (ITALPRESS) – The wait is almost over. Tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 30, will be the big day of the talk show Fair Play Menarini – Champions tell their stories. The reflections and anecdotes of sports legends, models of fair play and loyalty, will find space in the symbolic place of the city of Florence, Palazzo Vecchio, which will open the doors of the iconic Salone dei Cinquecento at 5 p.m., in the presence of Mayor Sara Funaro. The talk show will feature the participation of the Italian National Olympic Committee, represented by Silvia Salis, deputy vice president of CONI and former champion of hammer throw, a discipline in which she won ten Italian titles. From athletics also comes the story of Andy Diaz, a triple jump champion who struck the first Olympic medal with the Italian colors at the Paris 2024 Games, and his coach and friend Fabrizio Donato, bronze in the triple jump at the 2012 London Olympics. The star-studded roundup continues with Rigivan Ganeshamoorthy, gold in the discus throw at the last Paralympic Games in Paris, while for alpine skiing there will be Giuliano Razzoli, gold in the special slalom at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. For soccer, a legend like Javier Zanetti, unforgettable captain of Inter Milan and the Argentine national team. Borja Valero, the Spanish midfielder who became a flag for Fiorentina, also responded to Menarini’s Fair Play appeal. Volleyball will feature a historical name like Andrea Zorzi, two-time world champion with Italvolleyball, and a revelation like Ekaterina Antropova, Olympic gold medalist at the Paris 2024 Games. Finally, stories by the ‘narrator of emotions’ Federico Buffa will help make the evening unique. I campioni si raccontano is produced in partnership with Sky TG24 and will be broadcast live on Sky channel 501. Presenting the event will be Rachele Sangiuliano, former volleyball champion and Sky Sport anchor, Omar Schillaci and Michele Cagiano, deputy editors of Sky TG24, along with Alessandro Acton, Sky Sport journalist and anchor. “There is great excitement and curiosity about the stories of the champions who are the protagonists of the evening,” commented Valeria Speroni Cardi and Filippo Paganelli, members of the Board of the Fair Play Menarini Foundation. “We hope that this new edition of the talk show will inspire everyone, especially the younger generation.”- Photo Ufficio Stampa Fair Play Menarini -(ITALPRESS).
