Atalanta will receive the gold medal from the City of Bergamo
Traditionally, the city’s civic merits and gold medals are recognized at the end of the year: the Municipality has decided to bring forward the awarding of the honour, with a decision dictated by the amazing sporting success achieved last week in Dublin – where the Nerazzurri won beat Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League, one of the greatest continental football titles – and to make the delivery coincide with the day of the continental title celebrations, combining the institutional celebration with the celebration of the Atalanta people scheduled for the same evening. Atalanta is historically the main and most important team in the city and territory of Bergamo: it boasts a close and extraordinary bond not only with the city, but also with the rest of the provincial area. In the last 8 years, thanks to the fortunate and virtuous management of Percassi/Gasperini, the team has achieved results never achieved before with notable continuity, achieving 4 qualifications for the Champions League – the highest European football competition -, coming close to reaching the top of the Serie A rankings , reaching the Italian Cup final 3 times and winning – as the first Italian team – the Europa League in the 2023/24 season. “Conferring the highest civic honor to Atalanta is a choice suggested by the heart and gratitude towards a team that has filled us with pride” declared the mayor of Bergamo Giorgio Gori.
