Rome, 1 December (LaPresse) – “Today we lose a figure who made sporting history with extraordinary talent and passion. Nicola Pietrangeli was a symbol of Italian tennis, the first Italian to win a Grand Slam, inducted into the World Hall of Fame, a champion capable of inspiring several generations and who raised Italy’s profile around the world. Condolences to his family, to the many fans who supported him throughout his career, and to those who loved him.” This was written on social media by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
