Conference "Sport and healthy nutrition to grow up better"

On the occasion of the 4th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World (18-24 November 2019), the Italian Embassy in Bern and the Swiss delegation of CONI organised a sporting and educational event dedicated to young people and parents. The event took place on 1 December 2019 in Zurich. The programme included a conference on nutrition and sport, held by Dr Gaudimonte at Ristorante Al 21, followed by a talk by the outstanding Valentina Rosamilia (16), reigning triathlon champion in both Italy and Switzerland and 3rd in the world rankings for the 800m in her category. From 12.00, at the Sihlhölzli sports centre (Zurich), targeted sports activities took place for children aged 8 to 14, in a gym prepared for the occasion by two coaches. Once the competitions were over, everyone gathered at Ristorante Al 21, where a lunch based on Italian products designed for athletes of all ages was offered, prepared by Chef Stefano Maruccia in close collaboration with Dr Gaudimonte. The "Week of Italian Cuisine in the World" is the annual themed event dedicated to promoting quality Italian cuisine and agri-food products, promoted by the network of Embassies, Consulates, Italian Cultural Institutes and ICE Offices around the world.
