While Paris 2024 is getting closer, President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella received yesterday at the Quirinale the delegation of the Italian Olympic and Paralympic team as they approach the Games scheduled in the French capital from July 26 to August 11. Olympic medalists Arianna Errigo and Gianmarco Tamberi and Paralympians Ambra Sabatini and Luca Mazzone received from President Mattarella the flags with which they will parade, respectively, along the Seine at the Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024, set precisely for July 26, and along the Champs-Élysées on August 28. A solemn and emotional ceremony, the one held in the Quirinal Gardens, which was attended by a large representation of more than 200 Italian athletes, technicians and managers, led by CONI President Giovanni Malagò and Italian Paralympic Committee President Luca Pancalli. "In Paris you will employ all your efforts with loyalty and respect for your opponents," said the Head of State, "It will be a first victory. Your behavior will honor Italy”. (Photo by Quirinale.it)
