Sport, inclusion and solidarity. This is the meaning of the initiative promoted and organized by the non-profit organization "Rarini per amore" which deals with supporting needy families in starting swimming, with the aim of spreading the seed of solidarity through the Paralympic sport.
The event, presented by the president of the Rare Nantes Florentia Andrea Pieri will take place on Sunday 23rd starting at 10am at the Nannini swimming pool in Bellariva through a triangular paralympic water polo in which, in addition to the team of the red and white club - the most successful in Italy with one championship, four Italian Cups and a three-time Super Cup in the trophy cabinet -, the team of Pallanuoto Trieste and the reigning Italian champions Napoli Lions will also take part.
The official matches will be preceded, tomorrow at 19 pm, by a joint training session between the three teams. The tournament is also a preview of the Preliminary round, Gold group, of the V Italian Paralympic Water Polo Championship scheduled at the Nannini from 4 to 6 April.
"Social is a fundamental value for Rari Nantes Florentia - Pieri declared -, these guys, with their extraordinary abilities, teach us every day what it really means to overcome limits. 'Rarini per Amore' is not just a name but a way of understanding sport: passion, commitment and inclusion".
The presentation of the event was attended, among others, by the sports councillor of the municipality of Florence Letizia Perini, the captain of the Rari Nantes Florentia Ability team Elio Filidei and the players Federico Fattori and Alessio Signorini.
"We can finally play in front of our fans and our families, and for all of us it will be a unique emotion - said Filidei -, this triangular tournament is the demonstration that Paralympic water polo is a high-level sport, made of commitment, sacrifice and a lot of passion. For anyone who wants to discover this world, we invite everyone to the Nannini swimming pool. Just come in and watch us: you will realize that the only real barrier is the mental one".
