When we met, the teacher presented me with the idea of ​​the billiard tournament, a discipline that allows you to apply mathematics in a different way. I have decided, and the Administration with me, to embrace the cause and support this first championship between institutes”. Mezzacapo concludes: “A way of promoting this sport starting from schools precisely to recover a tradition that risks disappearing. An opportunity for younger people to come together and come back to animate our clubs, which have always been a meeting point for many generations.”
