Luciano Buonfiglio, President of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), today welcomed Spyros Capralos, President of the European Olympic Committees (EOC), to the “Giulio Onesti” Olympic Training Centre in Rome. The Greek official is in the Italian capital for the meeting of the EOC Executive Committee, which brings together the National Olympic Committees of the continent.

Also in attendance was Carlo Mornati, who serves as both General Secretary of CONI and General Secretary of the EOC.

For Buonfiglio, elected to lead CONI last June, this marked his first official meeting with the head of the European Olympic body. The occasion provided an important opportunity to reaffirm Italy’s central role within the international Olympic landscape and to strengthen the longstanding dialogue with European leadership, facilitated by Mornati’s dual responsibilities. The discussions also looked ahead to major events on Italian soil, beginning with the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
