Paolo Bellino, CEO of RCS Sport: “Sport has always had, and must increasingly have, an active role in the civil society it reflects, giving voice to battles that affect the whole community. This is why we also wanted an association that fights for women’s rights and addresses an important and – unfortunately – always topical issue, such as the fight against gender violence, to be our Charity Partner for the entire Giro universe (Giro Next Gen, Giro d’Italia and Giro d’Italia Women). Together with Scarpetta Rossa, we want to convey a strong, clear, shared and impactful message. Red and pink are the colours that represent our two realities and will mark the various initiatives that we will carry out together to make a tangible contribution to this important cause”.

Gualtiero Nicolini, Head of Projects and Development of the Scarpetta Rossa APS Association: “We are delighted that Scarpetta Rossa APS has been chosen to become the Charity Partner of such important and historic events. This collaboration gives us the opportunity to spread awareness about our cause and to make a significant difference in the world of sport as well. We sincerely thank RCS Sport for the trust and commitment in supporting our mission. It is an honour for us to contribute to such a significant and inspiring event”.
