A moment of interaction, during which the principles that have always guided IBSA Farmaceutici’s every activity were shared, from sport as a tool for social inclusion to the importance of team play to be able to win, but always with loyalty and respect; the centrality of health, prevention and scientific research for the collective well-being; but also sport as a metaphor for life: as well as on the pitch, commitment, will, determination, sacrifice and personal discipline are also needed in everyday life, in order to achieve any goal.

And important message that IBSA Farmaceutici, together with Valentina Vezzali, wanted to launch above all at the younger generations, who need positive role models to get inspired by, in order to look at the future with confidence.

“For me, sport has been the greatest metaphor for life, and today I hope to be able to pass on everything it has taught me to many young people, because my dream is to have a truly sportier Italy” – Valentina Vezzali.
