“Sport is increasingly a central element in international and diplomatic relations: a very important tool for strengthening and improving them. It also represents an important tool for the promotion of Made in Italy in the world, particularly appreciated by France which in 2023 imported Italian goods for over 63 billion euros, confirming the strategic importance of the French market for our country”, stated the ‘Ambassador d’Alessandro in her speech.
The event saw the presence of over one hundred participants, including journalists, economic operators and representatives of the institutional and sporting world.
