The Giro D’italia at the Italian Embassy in Washington with Paolo Bettini and Elisa Longo Borghini. As part of the initiatives of the Embassy of Italy in Washington for the first-ever Italian Sports Day in the World, promoted by the Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, Ambassador Mariangela Zappia hosted the event “The Giro d’Italia and the endless discovery of Italy” at the Embassy yesterday. “For the Italian Government, sports diplomacy is a priority, a tool for promoting dialogue and international cooperation,” said the Ambassador, emphasizing that “we chose to dedicate this day to cycling and the Giro d’Italia because they are extraordinary ambassadors of Italy and its beauty around the world.” The event was hosted by Italian-American influencer Anthony J. Polcari (“Tony P”) in conversation with Olympic champion Paolo Bettini and the winner of the most recent Giro d’Italia, Elisa Longo Borghini, who shared their experiences. Joining their testimonies was that of Paralympic athlete Diego Gastaldi, who, in a video message, introduced the U.S. audience to the documentary Giro Express, featuring a selection of the most representative places from the 2024 Giro d’Italia. This iconic sporting event is increasingly recognized worldwide and serves as a showcase for Italy and the richness of its regions. Among the guests were Italian-language students from several schools in the capital and a delegation from Special Olympics International. In 2025, Turin will host the next Special Olympics World Winter Games, a sporting event that promotes social inclusion by involving athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team.

#September11 struck the heart of the US and the entire West. Italy's commitment to the fight against Islamic fundamentalism and all forms of terrorism continues, in defense of the values of freedom and democracy, pillars of our Constitution and our culture. #NeverForget
Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri della Repubblica italiana presso Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri
Ci sono giorni che rimarranno per sempre scolpiti nelle nostre menti. Avvenimenti che cambiano per sempre il corso della storia e con essa anche le vite di molti cittadini. L'11 settembre 2001 fu una di queste date. Un attacco terroristico devastante che colpì al cuore gli Stati Uniti d'America e l'intero Occidente. A distanza di 23 anni il nostro pensiero va alle migliaia di vittime innocenti e ai loro familiari. Anche nel loro ricordo prosegue il nostro impegno nella lotta al fondamentalismo islamico e a ogni forma di terrorismo, a difesa dei valori di libertà e democrazia, pilastri della nostra Costituzione e della nostra cultura. Non dimentichiamo.

Le Frecce Tricolori sulla capitale degli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸. Ieri, 21 agosto, la Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale ha lasciato, nei cieli di Washington, i colori della bandiera italiana 🇮🇹. Il sorvolo si è svolto lungo la direttrice del National Mall, che attraversa il cuore del capoluogo americano, per poi raggiungere le sponde opposte del fiume Potomac e il cimitero di Arlington, dove riposano le spoglie di veterani di tutte le guerre statunitensi. Ancora una volta l'Aeronautica Militare, con il volo delle Frecce Tricolori ha emozionato le moltissime persone, che hanno assistito al saluto della Forza Armata ad una delle città simbolo degli Stati Uniti d'America. Il prossimo appuntamento è fissato per il 26 agosto con il sorvolo su Newport (Fort and Naval War College dalle 11:00 alle 12:30 locali) e e su Boston (City Hall Plaza e Boston Common dalle 15:00 alle 16:30 locali).
