Italia Team will have its Hospitality House for Paris 2024, in the heart of Bois de Boulogne, at one of Olympism’s most symbolic places: the Pré Catelan. The announcement made on 13 May at a press conference at the Italian Embassy in Paris, revealed the location of the Italian National Olympic Committee’s (CONI) Hospitality House for the Summer Olympic Games.

In the evocative setting of the Embassy’s Sicilian Theatre, the agreement was made official for Italy’s Casa Italia, first conceived on the occasion of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, becoming over the years, part of the team and country’s Olympic identity.

CONI President Giovanni Malagò noted: “I have come to Paris several times to make inspections, we have seen different places but from the beginning I thought that Pré Catelan was not only the best place for Casa Italia, but the place.”
