ROME (ITALPRESS) – “We could take stock of these two major sporting events that you have experienced and that we have experienced with you: the excellent health of Italian sport stands out. The quality of our two teams emerged and the confirmations continue, as shown by the results of Ganna and Affini in the World Cycling Championships.” This was said by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, at the ceremony of the return of the Italian flag by the Azzurri athletes participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
