Panathlon International

A great day in Venice to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Panathlon Club Venezia and Panathlon International, in the prestigious setting of the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista, attended by around 300 participants.

The contributions of the two distinguished speakers, Prof. Andrea Rinaldo and Prof. Mattia Losi, were particularly engaging and of the highest calibre, following an insightful and compelling introduction by Dr. Roberto Papetti, Editorial Director of Il Gazzettino.

The central moment of the ceremony was the presentation of the Award “Flambeau d’Or – in memory of Antonio Spallino” introduced by Luca Ginetto, President of Panathlon Club Perugia and former President of Panathlon Club Venezia. Mr. Ginetto also conducted a brief interview with the two award recipients, Francesca Porcellato and Bashir Abdi, with valuable translation support from Matilda Tommasi, President of Panathlon Club Trieste Junior.

A particularly meaningful recognition, featuring a Flambeau d’Or crafted by a master glassmaker, highlighting the strong connection between the event and Venice’s artistic and artisan traditions.

An intense and well-attended morning, celebrating sport, culture, and the values that have united Panathlon for 75 years.
