America's Cup: Mezzaroma and Nepi, 'a new idea of the future takes off in Bagnoli'

"Today, in Bagnoli, not only is the first AC75 of the French team La Roche-Posay taking to the water: a new idea of ​​the future is taking off. Here, after decades of missed opportunities, history changes course and leaves room for the courage of a new vision. A vision of the Italian Government, translated into results thanks to the work of the commissioner structure, Sport and Health, Invitalia and all the institutions involved. Day after day, Bagnoli is reborn and transformed". This was stated by Marco Mezzaroma and Diego Nepi Molineris, president and CEO of Sport e Salute, in Naples for the launch in Bagnoli of the AC75 of the French crew La Roche-Posay which will participate in next year's America's Cup.

"Where we waited for too long, today we are building. Here a sailing village open to all will be born, where sport will be opportunity, inclusion and growth - say Mezzaroma and Nepi -. The timetable is respected, commitments become reality, the future takes shape. The 2027 America's Cup will bring Italy and Naples to the center of the world. But the biggest challenge will be what will remain afterwards: a concrete legacy, capable of generating value for the territory and new opportunities for future generations. Because true success is not just hosting a global event, but leaving a mark that will last over time. And today, in Bagnoli, that future begins to take shape."
