“”May I win, but if I don’t succeed, I can try with all my strength!”. It was the motto of the Special Olympics that we hosted in Matera.”
This is what the Mayor of Matera says, Domenico Bennardi, which continues:
“Over 450 families from all over Italy.
Three days of “competitions” where the victory was the time spent together and the valorization of diversity.
An important opportunity for inclusion through sport but also for awareness of what still needs to be done to make our territories increasingly accessible as well as welcoming.
I thank the councilor for events Tiziana D’Oppido, for sport Antonio Materdomini and the Administration all for the important and intense commitment made together with the police, the extraordinary volunteers and the entire Special Olympics Basilicata team.
In line with an inclusive and ambitious city, in the coming years we would like to welcome the “Mediterranean Special Games” with foreign delegations and 8000 participants”.
