Naples hosted a preliminary America's Cup regatta, an event used as a test for future bids.
"We want Naples to become the home of the America's Cup and the world capital of sailing, and we are already working so that this objective can become a reality at least until 2029. The preliminary regatta was the teaser of what we can build. Italy has demonstrated extraordinary organizational capacity, bringing together institutions, skills, infrastructure, territory and public.
And everything we had planned was accomplished according to schedule." This is what Diego Nepi Molineris, CEO of Sport and Health, said. "We have shown that we know how to build an international event, make the city experience it and bring it to an extraordinary audience size. Now - adds Nepi - we want to do something even more ambitious: transform this experience into a proposal that the teams won't be able to say no to".
