Giovanni Sartori Reflects on Neutrality in Sport and the Future with Italian

The night did not bring him counsel but rather understandable agitation. "It was a restless night, yes," he admits. Giovanni Sartori seasoning the reflection with a smile: "Looking at the standings and all those teams enclosed in one point I'm not saying we're worried: we see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we have to get to the end of that tunnel".

Reflections from a football man in the folds of the event on the theme of 'Neutrality in sport', organized by the Bolognese Forensic Foundation in collaboration with the 'Italian Association of Sports Lawyers whose first part was staged yesterday afternoon at Palazzo Bevilacqua.

Many famous faces were present: from Gianluca Aureliano, a Serie A referee who is a lawyer by profession, to Giancarlo Marocchi, from the FdI MEP Stefano Cavedagna to the sports councillor Roberta Li Calzi, passing through the former referees Nicola Rizzoli, Paolo Casarin and Paolo Dondarini, plus the judges Paco D'Onofrio and Gabriele Bordoni.

Sartori illustrated the meaning of his experience as a 'team builder,' a profession he has been practicing for more than thirty years. In Casteldebole since 2022 he has been doing it together with the sports director Marco Di Vaio, who sent a message to Sunday evening Italian: "What would I advise him if a big club called him? To stay with us because we are on a journey. We have started a project with him and we are building something important. Vincenzo is a man from the South, one of great values: we hope we can move forward together because there is still a lot to do and we would like to do it with him".
