"This year we are preparing to experience another great sporting event in Brescia which, in the intentions of the Municipality of Brescia and Fidal, wants to become a fixed stage of the international athletics competition circuit. Having been chosen to organize this new meeting makes us clearly understand that we are on the right path in what we are doing in promoting amateur and competitive sports. In recent years, the Municipality of Brescia has made and planned important investments in sports facilities, in particular those dedicated to athletics, completing the functional recovery of the Calvesi field, creating the new Gabre Gabric facility and starting the construction of a new facility for indoor athletics that will be available in 2026. Without long-standing planning and far-sighted investments, we would never have been chosen by Fidal to host the Brescia Grand Prix meeting on September 8, a sporting event that aims to become a prestigious competition of international rank. And for which we will make all the necessary efforts to make it so".
Laura Castelletti – mayor of Brescia.

«Brescia will host the first edition of the Brescia Grand Prix meeting, an event that will feature 14 races with the best protagonists of the international athletics circuit. For the many expected champions, in addition to representing a catwalk after the Paris 2024 Olympics, the event will be an Italian stage in the run-up to the Diamond League final, the most important international meeting event. For Brescia, therefore, this is an unmissable opportunity to host the great champions of athletics here, but above all to accredit itself as a city capable of organizing sporting events of this magnitude, as already happened for the recent start of the Giro d'Italia
Women. The Municipality's commitment in this area demonstrates how we consider athletics to be of fundamental importance for its educational value and social inclusion because it allows anyone who intends to practice them to approach sports disciplines. Highly attractive events like this constitute a fundamental opportunity to attract enthusiasts and involve new practitioners."
Alessandro Cantoni – Councilor for Sport.

«I express my deepest gratitude to the Municipal Administration of Brescia which, with the support of our territory (Fidal Lombardia and Fidal Brescia) is implementing a series of initiatives (two active tracks in the city, the construction of an indoor facility, a competitive and promotional activity) that has no equal in Italy for competitive intensity and participation numbers.
The Brescia Grand Prix, an event that will be placed at the top of international meetings, after the beautiful experience of the Leonessa Meeting, will further qualify this splendid reality!!».
Gianni Mauri – President of Fidal Lombardia.
