Speaking at the ceremony, Minister Tajani emphasised the Giro d’Italia’s role as a catalyst for promoting the “Made in Italy” brand and fostering peace in the midst of global tensions. In his address, he said, “Sport is a tool for peace, especially in times of international turmoil. Through sport, we must convey messages of peace, and Italy aims to promote sports as a vehicle for peace.” Tajani also highlighted the promotional aspect of the event, stating, “Promoting the Giro also serves to boost the ‘Made in Italy’ brand, showcasing not just sport but also exemplary industrial and entrepreneurial activities.”

Urbano Cairo expressed his delight with the Giro d’Italia being named as an ambassador for Italian sport, thanking the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the honour. He emphasised the event’s potential to promote Italy’s values and beauty worldwide, he said, “The Giro has tremendous potential to further support our country. Promoting Italy’s beauty can attract more tourists, not only to witness the race but also to explore our cities and villages.”

With 21 stages spanning 3,386 kilometres through Italy’s breathtaking landscapes, the event promises to showcase top-tier cycling talent.
