With the press conference on 16 June in Folgaria, the adventure of the Italian national team at the Pre-Olympic in San Juan in Puerto Rico officially began, where a place to participate in the Paris Olympics at the end of July is up for grabs. On the 18th, however, there will be training open to the public, like those of the following days until the 21st.
