Today, Wednesday the 6th, Toscolano Maderno will celebrate Giulia Conti, the sailor who triumphed in the first women’s edition of the America’s Cup with the Luna Rossa team. The tribute ceremony will take place at 6:00 PM in the Sala Consiliare Fossati of the former Town Hall, where Mayor Chiara Chimini and Deputy Mayor Vittoria Goi will present an official recognition to the champion. This event not only honors Giulia’s achievements but also highlights the significant role of local sports associations in her development.
Giulia Conti, already awarded the CONI Gold Collar for Sporting Merit and boasting an illustrious Olympic career, is the Italian sailor with the most Olympic appearances after Alessandra Sensini. After starting at the Circolo Vela Toscolano, she achieved numerous results at both world and continental levels before becoming a coach in the United States. The community is invited to participate in this celebration that pays tribute not only to a successful athlete but also to the entire local community.
