Ruggeri accende la notte di ‘Casa Azzurri’ e Parmitano racconta le sue camminate nello spazio

Prosegue tra concerti, degustazioni e tavole rotonde all’insegna della promozione del ‘Made in Italy’ l’attività di ‘Casa Azzurri’, la struttura allestita presso Parc des Expositions, sede del Media Centre e punto di riferimento nel quartier generale della Nazionale a Montpellier per le istituzioni e per le aziende partner della Federazione.

Ieri la serata si è aperta con una degustazione di prodotti tipici locali a cura del Comune di Montpellier alla presenza del presidente federale Carlo Tavecchio, del sindaco e del presidente di Montpellier Mediterranee Metropole Philippe Saurel e del Console Generale d’Italia Fabrizio Mazza. Dopo aver regalato al sindaco una maglia personalizzata della nazionale con il numero dieci sulle spalle, Tavecchio ha ringraziato ancora una volta per la splendida accoglienza ricevuta: “Abbiamo trovato un ambiente tranquillo in cui poter lavorare al meglio e siamo molto contenti di aver scelto Montpellier come sede del nostro ritiro. Apprezzo molto anche l’idea del sindaco di invitarci a scoprire le specialità del territorio e anche gli incontri organizzati in questi giorni con l’ICE ci permettono di rafforzare l’ottimo rapporto tra Italia e Francia, con l’auspicio che le nostre due nazionali possano ritrovarsi in finale”.

Il Sindaco Philippe Saurel ha regalato al presidente federale un volume con la storia e le principali opere architettoniche della città: “Sono felice di ospitare nella nostra città la nazionale e i giornalisti italiani e di farvi conoscere i prodotti gastronomici locali. Amiamo molto l’Italia e speriamo di portare fortuna alla Nazionale”.

I circa duecento invitati hanno potuto apprezzare le specialità del territorio per poi fermarsi ad ascoltare il concerto di Enrico Ruggeri, un’esibizione live promossa da Radio Italia, il network di sola musica italiana partner ufficiale della Nazionale. Prima di esibirsi, il cantautore milanese ha commentato l’esordio della Nazionale con il Belgio: “Hanno giocato tutti bene, Conte è riuscito a compattare un gruppo che ha voglia di sacrificio. Le due nazionali partite con più scetticismo furono quella del 1982  e quella del 2006, evidentemente come popolo e come squadra abbiamo bisogno delle difficoltà per esaltarci”.

Questa mattina a ‘Casa Azzurri’ riflettori puntati invece su Luca Parmitano, primo italiano ad aver effettuato un’attività extraveicolare (EVA) il 9 luglio 2013, con 6 ore e 7 minuti di passeggiata spaziale. L’astronauta ha raccontato la sua esperienza nell’ambito di una tavola rotonda dedicata al Made in Italy nel settore aerospaziale e della tecnologia satellitare, secondo dei due eventi a sostegno dell’internazionalizzazione in base all’accordo sottoscritto nell’agosto 2015 fra MISE e FIGC, d’intesa con ICE (Agenzia per il Commercio Estero), per promuovere l’immagine del nostro Paese e delle sue eccellenze in occasione delle partite degli Azzurri a Euro 2016.

Dopo il saluto introduttiva del Vicedirettore di ICE Maria Gisella De Pace, alla tavola rotonda sono intervenuti Andrea Zanini, Portavoce del Presidente dell’ASI (AgenziaSpaziale Italiana), Giuseppe Aridon, Senior Vice President Strategy & Marketing di Telespazio e Walter Pecorella, Thales/Alenia Space Regional Research Network Italy.
“Non sono un grande esperto di calcio – ha confessato Parmitano – ma sono tifoso della Nazionale. Anche noi astronauti siamo una piccola squadra, ci alleniamo in maniera rigorosa e indossiamo la tuta azzurra. E come i giocatori della Nazionale siamo consapevoli di portare nel mondo il volto dell’Italia”.

Tavecchio: “Thank you to the well-behaved and passionate Italian supporters”

After their excellent win over Belgium, the Italy team returned to Montpellier during the night on a specially chartered flight that took off from Lyon airport at 02:00. Antonio Conte and captain Gianluigi Buffon stopped to sign some autographs for fans who had waited for the team outside their hotel. The squad took part in one training session today starting at 11:45.

Conte and his players were even praised by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi for their victory and were hailed by FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio. “It was a commanding display”, said Tavecchio to the ‘Radio anch’io lo sport’ programme, “We played and won like a great team. The celebrations are over because we’re already thinking about the next game”. The FIGC chief had special praise for Antonio Conte, saying “He’s in the process of doing something extraordinary. The lads are fantastic because they train and day after day they show that they share important values.  We were very satisfied with winning our first match against a much-fancied Belgium side. There’s a long way to go but I believe that a lot of people will start believing in us again after all the negative talk before kick-off.”

There was also time to thank all the Italian supporters who packed into the Stade des Lumières yesterday and roared the team on from the first minute to the last. They helped create a raucous but respectful atmosphere with their Belgian counterparts: “I’d like to once more emphasise the excellent behaviour of our fans both inside and outside the stadium. They supported us all night and I thank them for that. We showed that we’re a civilised country and that we can conduct ourselves properly. It was a model of good behaviour and civility.”
