This morning at Palazzo Chigi, the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, received CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio in the presence of the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi. This was the first meeting since Buonfiglio’s election on 26 June. During the discussion, conducted in a very cordial atmosphere, several current topics were addressed, including the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan Cortina, the 2026 Mediterranean Games in Taranto and the 2028 Youth Olympic Games in Dolomiti-Valtellina.

Buonfiglio also presented to President Meloni the guiding principles of his programme for the next four years for CONI, emphasising the broadest possible collaboration with the Government and the Ministries. Finally, Buonfiglio invited the President of the Council to the Collari d'Oro ceremony scheduled for 3 November in Rome at the Casa delle Armi at the Foro Italico, during which the 2025 World Champions of all Olympic and Paralympic disciplines will be honoured.
