The Prize

Enjoy a visit for two people to Pietro Mennea's studio where many of his sporting memorabilia is conserved. Later, enjoy dinner for two at the “Giulio Onesti” Olympic Training Center in Acqua Acetosa with Manuela Mennea and some members of the Italian Athletics Federation, Athletica Vaticana, Fiamme Gialle, Fidal Lazio and Cortile dei Gentili.

The auction winner will also receive the jersey that Pietro Mennea wore at the Stadio Olimpico for the University World Games in 1975.

Born in Barletta on June 28, 1952, Pietro Mennea was Olympic champion of the 200 meters at Moscow 1980 and world record holder of the discipline from 1979 to 1996, setting the European record that still stands. From 1979 to 2018 he also held the Italian record over 100 meters with a time of 10.01, later beaten by Filippo Tortu.

Mennea is the only 200-meter runner in history to have reached four consecutive Olympic finals, from 1972 to 1984. In recognition of his sporting career, he was awarded the Olympic order in 1997 and inducted into the FIDAL Hall of Fame.

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.
