Milan, 5 February (LaPresse) – "It was wonderful, a truly unique emotion. I must say that I didn't think it would be so intense, but then I looked at Francesca and saw that she had tears in her eyes, so let's say that it was also the end of our careers, this moment dedicated after so many years to us as athletes and, above all, being present at such an important moment for Italian sport that will be remembered forever. Milan is a wonderful city, our country is a wonderful country that truly deserves to experience these moments much more often." These were the words of tennis player Flavia Pennetta shortly after handing over the Olympic torch to the prima ballerina of La Scala, who lit the Olympic cauldron in front of the Duomo.
