The Chilean final of 1976 Davis Cup had major repercussions in the Italian press, both in sports and political newspapers, because of the debate on the Italian participation: three years earlier, indeed, Augusto Pinochet's putsch had overthrown the socialist government of Salvador Allende and in Italy, as well as in all Europe, the movement of solidarity with the Chilean people was continuing. Furthermore, playing in the National Stadium of Santiago, one of the symbols of the repression, was a reason for major indignation. The article aims at reconstructing the journalistic debate of the autumn 1976, underlining how a sports phenomenon may turn into the central topic of a political and cultural case of great relevance. ; La final chilena de la Copa Davis de 1976 tuvo mucha repercusión en la prensa italiana, tanto en la deportiva como en la política, por el debate que se desencadenó acerca de la oportunidad de que el equipo italiano viajara al país latinoamericano: el golpe de Augusto Pinochet había derrocado al gobierno socialista de Salvador Allende desde hacía tres años y, en Italia y en toda Europa, seguía siendo muy vivo el movimiento de solidaridad con el pueblo chileno, así que jugar en el Estadio Nacional de Santiago —uno de los símbolos de la represión— procuraba mucha indignación. El artículo se propone reconstruir el debate periodístico en el otoño de 1976, y subrayar cómo un fenómeno deportivo puede convertirse en el tema central de un caso político y cultural de gran relevancia.

Negli anni del regime fascista l'ideale della donna come «angelo del focolare» si conciliava male con la partecipazione femminile alle attività sportive. Il fascismo, tuttavia, riservò una grande attenzione allo sport, servendosene sia come fattore di educazione e socializzazione delle masse, sia come veicolo di propaganda. La vicenda di Ondina Valla – vincitrice della corsa degli 80 metri a ostacoli alle Olimpiadi del 1936 – racchiude in sé questa contraddizione, giacché da un lato il regime intendeva utilizzare a livello propagandistico i successi dell'atleta, dall'altro si trovava di fronte a una figura che non rifletteva il modello di donna che si voleva imporre. La vicenda di Ondina Valla – vincitrice della corsa degli 80 metri a ostacoli alle Olimpiadi del 1936 – racchiude in sé questa contraddizione, giacché da un lato il regime voleva utilizzare a livello propagandistico i successi dell'atleta, dall'altro si trovava di fronte a una figura che non rifletteva l'ideale di donna che si voleva imporre. Il successo olimpico del 1936 contribuì, almeno in parte, a cambiare la percezione dello sport femminile e, più in generale, del ruolo della donna nella società da parte della pubblica opinione. ; During the fascist dictatorship, the women's participation in sport activities was in contrast with for the model of woman as "angelo del focoloare" and mother of soldiers. An evidence is given by the non-participation of Italian female athletes at the 1932 Olympic Games. Fascism, however, paid great attention to sport, exploiting it for both education of masses and propaganda. In such a way Mussolini's regime launched a model which later would have been used by a number of dictators (think to the Nazi Germany, to the communist regimes during the Cold War, to the Latin-American dictatorships). The story of Ondina Valla – winner of the 80 metres hurdles race at the 1936 Olympic Games - en-compasses this contradiction, because on the one hand the government wanted to use her successes for political purpose; on the other hand, she was a figure which did not reflect the conception of the ideal woman endorsed by fascist ideology. The 1936 Olympic victory contributed, at least in part, to change the perception of women's sport and, more in general, of the women's role in society by the public opinion.

The main purpose of the Conference was to start a debate about studies and research relating to the circulation of the different forms of knowledge in the Mediterranean Basin, in order to build tools for planning, managing and evaluating territorial actions able to produce a positive impact on the Europeanization and on the perception of Europe by the citizens. All this can not but go through radical analysis of the concept of "border". ; peer-reviewed

One of the aims of the adapted physical activity, APA, is the sport for disabled athletes with specific rules and applied only to the specific category of disabled people who compete under the government of the International Paralympic Committee, IPC, and Special Olympics, SO. The study wants to hypothesize adaptation processes for races open also to other categories of disabled athletes and normal people throughout changes to sports facilities and rules of the sport. The method is that of qualitative research of group work with specific focus after individual elaborations of several students attending the master's degree course in the evaluation of disabled people. The phases are as follows: 1) elaboration of specific ideas for individual sports adapted by the sample of 55 master students; 2) focus groups on analysis and discussion of the problems highlighted in the individual projects; 3) synthesis of the principles and guidelines related to adaptation of race rules and sport facilities. The results shows the selected sport, its adaptation of single race rules and its sport facilities. Number 33 of sports have been hypothesized: 17 individual sports and 16 team ones. This work can create new sports, in which it can compete together athletes with different disabilities , and you can also highlight that in sport, as in life, if we overcome all barriers and limits, mental and physical, nothing is impossible. Inclusive paradigm has to be developed in sport also for the race effect.
