A thrilling and engaging success! Nearly a thousand people took part in the 5th edition of the Fair Play and Inclusion Walk, promoted by the Panathlon Club Latina in partnership with our Di Pietro Foundation.
This year, we once again had the exceptional participation of Manuela Olivieri Mennea, wife of the unforgettable champion, an absolute icon of Italian sport and president of the Pietro Mennea Onlus Foundation. Drawing on her husband’s life lessons, Manuela highlighted the importance of such events for better promoting the culture of values and sport, especially among younger people—the same people who passed through Latina on the city route between two historic monuments, starting from the Fair Play Monument and ending at the Inclusion Monument dedicated to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of Special Olympics.
Finally, both Panathlon President Di Pietro and President Martone emphasized the symbolic value and uniqueness of the sculptures and the event, emphasizing that Latina holds a rare distinction, unique in the world: it is home to two monuments dedicated, respectively, to fair play and inclusion.
And it is precisely this uniqueness that has given the walk an even deeper meaning. An urban itinerary that has become a metaphor for a social journey: from respect for the rules to full acceptance of all diversity.
