“Grotte di Castellana srl always opens itself with great enthusiasm to sport, understood not only as an absolute value for the correct education of children but also as an important driving force for the diffusion of the beauties of our territory – commented the president of Grotte di Castellana srl, Victor Casulli, virtually welcoming the participating teams, also on behalf of the Board of Directors composed of the Vice President Francesco Manghisi and the councilor Maria Lacasella On this basis, Grotte di Castellana srl is working to establish itself in the world of sports and to bring more and more major sporting events to our region. Sport is a value we believe in. And it is also for this reason that we wanted to renew this collaboration, allowing the many young people arriving from all over Italy to compete for a championship in the shadow of the Castellana Caves tower. We welcome the federal officials, teams, referees, staff, and supporters: may you experience this with emotion, passion, and wonder. Sensations that sport and the Castellana Caves best convey..
