"Italy, like Vietnam, considers sport to be central to its national identity. Our country's sporting tradition spans centuries and today, the Italian sports industry accounts for 1.3% of the national GDP and includes more than 750 companies, generating 12.2 billion Euros in revenue and 9.2 billion Euros in exports worldwide.
Whether it is football, cycling or motorsport, Italian athletes have always made their mark on the international stage. At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Italy once again shined brightly, with memorable performances in many events and a total of 40 medals, including 12 gold medals. It is these values of overcoming boundaries, striving for greatness and overcoming limitations that form the core message of the Exhibition," Ambassador Marco Della Seta emphasized.
