The Prize

Enjoy dinner for one in Milan in the company of Italian sprinter Filippo Tortu.

Born in Milan on June 15, 1998, Filippo Tortu is the national record holder of 100-meter dash with a time of 9"99, the first Italian to have run the distance in under 10 seconds.

Among the greatest sprinters of his generation, he holds the record for best Italian 100 meter times in the under 18, under 20 and under 23 categories, as well as having won under 20 European champion in Grosseto 2017 and under 20 vice-world champion at Bydgoszcz 2016. In the 200-meter category, on the other hand, he holds the fourth fastest Italian time ever with 20 "34.

You will have a chance to attend the Italian champion's training session and go to dinner with him afterwards. In addition, Filippo Tortu will sign his Fiamme Gialle racing bodysuit and give it you as a gift.

This experience is valid for one person and will take place according to availability of Filippo Tortu and the auction winner.

Filippo Tortu joined the Fiamme Gialle in November 2015. In 2018 in Madrid, he succeeded in the extraordinary feat of improving on the Italian 100-meter record that for 39 years had belonged to the Italian sprinting legend Pietro Mennea.

The Cause

“WE RUN TOGETHER – Supporting our team” is a sports initiative supporting two hospitals that have been at the heart of the fight against Covid-19, the Papa Giovanni XXIII in Bergamo and the Fondazione Poliambulanza in Brescia. The funds raised from the auctions will go to the medical and nursing staff of these two hospitals that have tirelessly looked after Coronavirus patients in recent months.

This campaign has received the extraordinary support and blessing of Pope Francis who is actively involved in the initiative by donating some of his own personal highly valuable and prestigious sports items. Besides the Pope, many internationally renowned athletes, companies and sports clubs have joined the cause because we’re stronger together.

WE RUN TOGETHER is promoted and organized by four organizations that have always been committed to promoting the value of sport as a tool for inclusion, sharing, dialogue and peace. These organizations are:

Atheltica Vaticana, the first sports club in Vatican City
Sports group Fiamme Gialle (Guardia di Finanza)
“Cortile dei Gentili”, department of the Pontifical Council for Culture (VA) to promote dialogue between believers and non-believers
FIDAL-Lazio, Lazio region Athletic Federation.
