Leggere il Presente | Lo sport che genera valore

We saw it again with the latest Winter Olympics. Every time Italy is awarded a major international event, the same sequence unfolds: initial enthusiasm, early protests, mounting deadline pressure, some controversy and then, finally, the event itself. But what is the final outcome?
Dino Ruta, Rector’s Delegate for Olympic Affairs at Bocconi University and Professor of Practice in Leadership, Sports & Events Business at SDA Bocconi School of Management, as well as author of Olympic Colors - Sport and the Games as a Spark for Wellbeing and Development (Egea), will discuss this topic together with Diana Bianchedi, Chief Strategy, Planning and Legacy Officer for Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, Deputy Vice President of CONI and Sports Physician, and Michael Gandler, FIFA Master Alumnus and Chief Business Officer at AS Roma. Moderated by Elisabetta Esposito, journalist at La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Leggere il presente is SDA Bocconi Roma's book club. A series of meetings where the issues reshaping businesses, markets and institutions become conversation: with those who study them, those who live them, those who decide. Each appointment starts from a concrete question and a book that brings it into focus. In one hour, it becomes clear where the game is played and what room for action is available.
