Olimpia Milano received from the hands of the Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, the Ambrogino d’Oro, the prestigious honor recognized by the Municipality of Milan, in this case for conquering of the thirtieth Italian championship with which the team honored the city. The recognition was presented by the Mayor himself to President Leo Dell’Orco during the team’s visit to Palazzo Marino.

The Mayor was given a preview of Olimpia’s number 1 jersey with the three stars on the chest which will be worn starting from tomorrow’s semi-final Super Cup game in Brescia. The jerseys, both red and white, were shown at Palazzo Marino by the entire Olimpia team. “I want to thank Giorgio Armani, Leo Dell’Orco, coach Messina, all the players and the coaching staff for making Milan and many fans experience this extraordinary adventure, a dream that must continue – said the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala -. Your story is a strongly Milanese story in terms of values ​​and colors – red and white are the colors of Milan – which you wear on your jersey.”

“We start the season tomorrow, with the Super Cup – added president Leo Dell’Orco -: last year we won the championship; we will try to win it again this year but we are also trying to make another dream come true”. It is the second time Olimpia has been awarded with the prestigious honor, the first one was in 1972 when the then-Simmenthal team won the Italian Cup, the Cup of Cup Winners and the Italian championship defeating Varese in a memorable tie-break game.
