As the champion Giovanni Redi shows us, sport is an opportunity to tell life stories. After being world champion of Muai Thay, he has not stopped and is trying to face new disciplines and new challenges. This is precisely one of the values ​​that sport teaches us, and it is a message that can pass on to the city through events like this. The Bartolomei boxing club is an important institution in Pisa, which works every day in the territory, also with projects for the prevention of bullying in schools that are very effective. These are messages of inclusion that spread more simply and immediately through sport. The Municipal Administration, as always, supports events like this, which manage to bring sport closer to citizens".
