I hope that this initiative will continue over time and be repeated for several editions”.
The Secretary is on the same line of thought Belluzzi. “Sport is both culture and education. One of the most beautiful elements that belong to sport are the infinite stories behind every gesture and it is the author’s and journalist’s pen that has to tell them. he has declared.
Gian Primo Giardi instead he underlined the importance of this new initiative: “We have also included the competition in the Olympic Committee’s Sports Policy Program and have built a high-level Judging Commission. We want to dare to promote the competition as much as possible, in which we really believe so much, trying to address journalists, students and drawing the attention of the San Marino communities abroad by involving our Olympic athletes”.

We need culture in this historic moment and this project can give us the opportunity to make San Marino known to the world”.
The presidents of the Information Council and the San Marino Sports Press Association, Robert Church and Eli Gorinithey agree on the need to start re-educating the story. “This is a very beautiful cultural operation.
