The Ragusan Antonio Santocono, high level rugby referee, received at the Municipality. “Last March 9th – underlines the mayor Peppe Cassì – the Italy of Rugby made history. By beating Scotland in the Six Nations, they returned to celebrate a home victory that had been missing for 11 years, continuing a particularly happy moment for our rugby. Well, that day, at the Olimpico, making a splendid impression, there was also a bit of Ragusa. Also part of the referee team was our Antonio Santocono, 27 years old and already having a lot of satisfaction with the oval ball. First his career as a player, in Sicily and Piedmont, narrowly touching the national top 10; now that of a referee, which in rugby’s oldest and most beautiful tournament has already given him great satisfaction. It won’t be the last: physique, head and character are on Antonio’s side. We are convinced that rugby lovers and others will soon be able to watch it on TV again.” Also guaranteeing the welcome at Palazzo di Città were the municipal councilor for Sport, Simone Digrandi, who expressed satisfaction with the results achieved by Santocono, and the municipal councilor Giovanni Sortino.
