"ITALIAN SPORTS LEGENDS"

"Italian Sports Legends", was born in 2023 to celebrate some figures of Italian sport who have brought glory to our country, earning international admiration and respect.

The aim is to promote and showcase Italy's rich sporting heritage and to underline the role of SPORT as a vehicle for intercultural exchange and the transmission of values.

The first (experimental) edition of Italian Sports Legends took place in Hoboken from September 7 to 10, 2023, thanks to the collaboration of the “Madonna dei Martiri” Society which included it in the Hoboken Italian Festival.

A section dedicated to the 17 Legends of Italian Athletics has been set up along Riverside Park, with panels and QR Codes for further information.

Some of the scheduled activities, such as the "Toys for Kids - Family Race" and the "Sports Village", were canceled due to weather conditions. High-performance recreational activities for children, such as archery, mini golf and vortex launch - postponed to the following week - were also appreciated by the adult public.
