At Piano Provenzana, the 'Memorial Gioacchino Russo Morosoli' returns: after 8 years, Etna is the star of federal competitions.

Last weekend, the Star Etna Amphitheater slope served as a natural stage for the sporting event titled “Memorial Gioacchino Russo Morosoli”, a Giant Slalom race organized by the Sci Club Mareneve di Linguaglossa, which saw the participation of athletes from all categories.

After eight years, Etna returns to be the protagonist of federal competitions, thanks to the support of the men and equipment from the Gruppo Russo Morosoli and the slope director Michele Lollobattista.

«I thank the organizers for thinking to name a race in memory of my father - emphasized entrepreneur Francesco Russo Morosoli - Throughout his life, my father invested energy and financial resources to support this territory. Just look at the ski lifts and the hiking stations».

«The snow is still abundant - added Francesco Russo Morosoli - I hope the ski season lasts until Easter. We are doing our part. My hope is to collaborate more frequently and effectively with the local administrations, to enhance the potential of our volcano. At Etna Nord, we are waiting for all Sicilians to enjoy this carefree final stretch of winter».
