Champions & Songs

The second edition of ‘Champions & Songs‘ kicks off on Friday 27 October at 8.30 p.m.

Once again, various sports champions will compete in song in the name of solidarity.

A real competition, which will see many Italian sports champions from various disciplines compete on the prestigious stage of the Ariston Theatre.

The challenge will be motivated solely by solidarity. The event aims to raise funds for the Fondazione Piemontese for the Reserch on cancer ONLUS-Candiolo(TO), the HSOS -Ospedale Sacco Obiettivo Sangue- (Milan) and the Fondazione Fontana ONLUS .

The event conceived by Lions Bruno Zanoni, a former professional cyclist, and Riccardo Magrini, sports director and TV commentator for Eurosport, is in its second edition, and has great potential for growth.
