A party open to all being held throughout the country. Today, the Italian National Olympic Committee celebrates the National Day of Sport, an event that takes place every year for those who love and practice sport and for the promotion of all sporting disciplines involved, with events and demonstrations in many Italian municipalities.

Under the direction of CONI, in coordination with the sports bodies and affiliated sports associations and together with the local authorities, the territories engage in initiatives, events and parades aimed at enhancing the function of sport as a fundamental factor for the growth and enrichment of the individual, for improving the quality of life and for empowering and strengthening civil society.

And there are so many Italian squares that are coming alive with sport today, telling their stories in real time on CONI's social media (see photos on the Facebook page) through the hashtag #GNS22 (Here the detailed programme Region by Region). A celebration that embraces the country, with sport as the protagonist.
