Napoli was a nice surprise, I thought the work was just beginning and instead it is moving forward, I saw a lot of work in progress”. This is what Vincent Rognon, envoy of the French delegation in view of the 2019 Universiade in Naples, says. “We saw – said Rognon – magnificent facilities and many smiles in the city and on the construction sites. You can see that people want to do well and contribute to the success of these Universiade”. The French envoy praises the accommodations planned for the athletes: “I saw beautiful accommodations both in Salerno and Pozzuoli”, and also underlines the contribution that the event will be able to give to the further growth of tourism: “Naples – he explains – is very similar to our cities in the south of France, like Marseille. I know well that cities need these events to discover the culture, the food and all the beautiful aspects of the Region, I am impatient to let the student athletes and the staff discover it, we will bring a group of about 300 people here”.
