The 96th International Alba White Truffle Fair will be celebrated with a revamped inauguration, dedicated to the sport and some of its most iconic figures.

The inaugural ceremony will feature Giovanni Malagò, Valentina Vezzali, Federico Pellegrino, Alessia Maurelli and Leonardo Bonucci, in a moment of discussion dedicated to the theme chosen for this edition of the Fair: “Authentic Relationships”.

This choice stems from the desire to showcase, through the experiences of great champions and protagonists of Italian sport, the value of relationships, trust, and teamwork. These elements are the foundation of every great achievement and represent a natural convergence with a Fair that has always connected people, experiences, and territories.

The presence of Giovanni Malagò, former President of CONI and President of the Milano Cortina 2026 Foundation, will also offer the opportunity to reflect on the relationship between major events, sport, and the local area.

Valentina Vezzali, multiple Olympic and world fencing champion, Alessia Maurelli, captain of the Italian national rhythmic gymnastics team and Olympic medalist, Federico Pellegrino, Italian cross-country skier and multiple Olympic and world medalist, and Leonardo Bonucci, former defender of the Italian national football team and 2021 European champion, will bring to the stage their experiences and their points of view on the value of relationships, mutual trust and teamwork on the path to great sporting achievements.
