Welcome to Ancona, Italy
Ancona is waiting with great expetation the most important
event of 2009, the European Veterans Athletic Championships
Indoor, an international happening dedicated to the veterans
of the Athletic. Capital of the Marche region, historically called
Ankon (elbow) the city is placed on the Adriatic sea, surrunded
by hills around the Conero cliff, is ready to welcome the
thousend people expected, athletes, trainers and general staff.
We like to give a warm welcome to everybody, wishing all to
achive here great resoults and feeling like at home, in a friendly
and stimulating envirolment, which has always been a melting
pot of travelers, people and cultures. It’s a very peacefull
city – like everyone will say – where people from all over the
world still lives together without any problems or difficulties.
More then hundred different kind of ethnic culture settled in
this harbor city, working as fishermen, shipyards, in the industry
and in the sale. The very good position, no doubt about
it, in the middle of Italy on the Mediterranean sea, makes it a
unique place where people have acttualy the luck to watch
sunset and dawn, where a walk from sea to sea make the city
life alot more pleasent. We are confident on the fact that both
athletes and staff will feel welcome, supported by the warm
of the Ancona audience and a new concept facility, the Pala
indoor. It is concidered for its tecnical and build characteristics
one of the best Europian facility for the Athletic. The facility,
strongly requested from the city hall administration a couple
of years ago, has been working on full schedule, giving Ancona
an international role. On behalf of the city administration
and the city itself we would like to say, we hope to see you
again for future holiday: Welcome, a good staying and good
luck to all you great athletes!
