“I wish you only one thing: it is the first time that the Head of State, the President of the Italian Republic, is present at the Paralympic Games to the village. I only invite you to put in those suitcases when you return the fact that you are part of a single large Italian sports family and Italian sport is grateful to you for this but lastly remember to put all those emotions that you felt and add the ability to say that that day the Head of State was there and he was there for us”. This was said by the president of the Cip Luca Pancalli addressed to Sergio Mattarella and the Paralympic athletes in Paris during the visit to the village by the President of the Republic.
