The 1141st meeting of the CONI National Council was held this afternoon at the Foro Italico, which opened the agenda with the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting on 25 July. Before the communications, the President presented a special plaque of honour to Nicola Pietrangeli on the occasion of his 90th birthday, which is to be celebrated today with a ceremony at CONI and later at the Circolo Canottieri Roma.

The president then presented three Stelle d’Argento for special sporting merits to three distinguished journalists who have written important pages in the annals of Italian sports: Augusto Frasca, Piero Mei and Silio Rossi. Regarding relations with institutions, Malagò updated the council on the latest developments in light of the decree-laws that came into effect regarding term limits and sporting work. Two working committees have been defined to address both topics, also in light of the fallout from the electoral limits included in the law on mandates. The president then informed the council that he will attend the opening of the academic year in Forlì on 18 September.

The latest developments regarding Milano Cortina were brought to the attention of the council, which will then be set out at the IOC session scheduled for 15-17 October in Mumbai, India. Reports on the Summer (Basilicata 21-24 Sep.) and Winter (Piedmont Dec. 16-18) Trofeo Coni were reviewed.

Secretary General Mornati took stock of medal projections for the 2024 Games and announced a final visit to Olympic venues and facilities with the Technical Directors of certain sports from next 24-27 in Paris. Great satisfaction was then expressed on analysing the sporting results from the summer, particularly the medal table from the EYOF in Maribor. After deliberating a long series of other organisational and administrative issues and taking related resolutions, the council adjourned at 4.20 p.m.
