underlines Anna Licia Balzan.

The commitment of Prince Albert II, who has always been active in promoting the protection of the planet, and especially of the sea, was for me an example that I wanted to realize through sailing, which brings splendid boats and the most authentic maritime fair play in perfect harmony with the extraordinary context offered by the Serenissima. Also this year we were able to take advantage of the partnership of BNL-BNP Paribas Wealth Management whose support is essential to ensure the growth of this event
