prizes in Procida, Ludi and Briantea

The comedy of the two “vintage” Gigi (Sammarchi) and Andrea (Roncato), the professionalism of the presenter Metis Di Meo and a very clear common thread: Como sport and basketball. It wasn’t the classic Christmas party – refreshments/greetings/panettonata, triptych which also was not lacking – but a real gala evening with prizes. And after all, the studied title already said it all, or almost: “Gran Galà Xmas Awards 2022”. Pallacanestro Cantù did great things in the new Christmas appointment that took place yesterday evening at Villa Argenta in Figino Serenza.

Never before had any such prominent club gone so far as to award awards to the most deserving clubs or athletes from Como. Or to reward the world of volunteering and the economy. To do this, a merit commission was “engaged” made up of the president Roberto Allievi, the Cantù flag Carlo Recalcati, the journalist Edoardo Ceriani, the former goalkeeper Simone Braglia and Luca Rossini, general secretary of Pallacanestro Cantù.

And the names of the winners were very important for local sport. Like the talent of Lipomo, who grew up in Cantù basketball, Gabriele Procida. The president of Legabasket, Umberto Gandini, had to deliver the “Sport Award” to Calcio Como, represented by dg Carlalberto Ludi A 360-degree event, the “Gran Galà Xmas Awards” also wanted to reward – on stage Roberto Allievi – those sporting realities who base their activity in the social sphere: Briantea84, Ice Club Como and Osha Como.

A high important moment was the delivery of the “Personality of the Year Award” to the lawyer Giuseppe Guzzetti – his family members were there -, former president of the Lombardy Region and senator of the Republic, was also awarded for his “commitment in the of philanthropy, as president of the Cariplo Foundation».
