Italy Debuts ‘Lo Sport in Costituzione’ Campaign With AI Voice of Pietro Mennea

The government spot launches a long-term push to explain Article 33(7) with a focus on widening access to sport.

Overview

  • Minister Andrea Abodi premiered the first film at H-FARM in Roncade before more than 500 students, joined by athletes and Mennea’s widow.
  • The Ministry for Sport and Youth produced the campaign with Sport e Salute and the Presidency’s publishing department, two years after the constitutional provision was approved.
  • Creative agency Shado crafted the video using a fragmentation technique, with Mennea’s voice recreated through AI to narrate the story.
  • The film showcases Italian sports legends and teams, including Francesco Moser, Deborah Compagnoni, Federica Pellegrini, Bebe Vio, the 1982 and 2006 football champions, and the Paris 2024 volleyball squad.
  • Officials say the campaign will roll out further films and distribute widely across TV, Rai networks, social media, and digital devices to promote sport as a right for all.
