Thanks go to the organizing company, the Orobica Slega, to the European Confederation of Boccistics, to its president Bruno Casarini and to all the staff who collaborated in this event, which will also allow a restart for synthetic bowls. For the international Raffa it will be necessary to work hard to ensure an activity in several countries, given that, at the moment, there are not many countries in which it is practiced, also due to the costs related to the plants “.
“In this event we have the prestigious collaboration with Atalanta Calcio – underlined De Sanctis-. In terms of image, this partnership is important. The Nerazzurri club, which for some years has appeared in the Champions League, has decided to associate its name with the soccer discipline, for us, it is another way to make ourselves known outside ”. “As I always repeat, in fact, we must obtain consensus, make ourselves known and open ourselves to the outside”, concluded De Sanctis.
