Naples Hosts Thrilling Morning of Awards and Races at Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023
Eventful morning at Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023: The award ceremony for the second offshore leg – La Maddalena to Naples – took place at the Race Village in Rotonda Diaz. Following the ceremony, the attention shifted to the waters in front of the traveling restaurant, MyPastaTruck, and the sponsor stands, where new inshore races were held and the third offshore race began, taking the fleet to Vibo Valentia.
The award ceremony, attended by a large audience, started with a welcome from Pier Paolo Baretta, the Deputy Mayor for Budget of the City of Naples, followed by speeches from Riccardo Simomeschi, the leader of SSI Events S.p.A., and Admiral Salvatore Vitiello, Commander of the Logistic Command of the Italian Navy.
The action then moved to the sea, where under the guidance of PRO Valentina Bravi and with the assistance of Race Officials and volunteers from the Italian Naval League of Pozzuoli and the Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia, the fleet set off on the 200-mile-long third offshore leg, heading towards Vibo Valentia.
With a breeze of around 12 knots, the fleet paraded in front of the Caracciolo promenade before heading out to sea, following the lead of Aeronautica Militare, Acone Associati-Si Media, and Dr Automobile
During the Naples-Vibo Valentia leg, the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023 will also promote the “Discover Where You Port” project by ENIT, the Italian National Tourism Agency, featuring seventeen itineraries inspired by historical routes. For this leg, the route will partially overlap with the “Rotta dei Normanni” (Route of the Normans), offering a fascinating journey from Sapri to Tropea.
The Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023 is organized by Difesa Servizi S.p.A. and SSI Events with the support of the Italian Navy.
