The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella met the athletes who won medals at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics at the Quirinale for the ceremony to return the flag. “You have thrilled the Italians. There are moments in which sport takes on a wider meaning: this is one of them”.
“You have been a team, you have shown friendship and integration between you and you have solicited not only attention to sport, but to practice sport: thank you for all this, congratulations”, added Mattarella.
