It could not be otherwise, because among the tricolor stories of "Never give up" there must also be the new queen of Italian skiing.
And so Federica Brignone brought the entire movement on Rai Uno, for a desired event, in conjunction with the day of the Italian Republic Day, to support the Red Cross through the testimonies and the presence, albeit in video connection with a conductor special as Alex Zanardi, of many champions of Italian sport.
"Never give up" therefore saw the participation of the world football champions of 1982 and 2006, aces such as Federica Pellegrini and Valentino Rossi, but also Flavia Pennetta and Charles Leclerc, up to the Aosta Valley champion who brought first time in Italy the absolute crystal ball on a female level.
And it was a particular testimony that of Fede, issued to Caterina Balivo: on video she and mother Ninna Quario appeared, hit by Covid-19 in March, just a few days after the triumph of her daughter: “I didn't even have the strength to pick up the phone, the cough had reached crazy levels that night when Faith decided to call the ambulance - she said again who wrote important pages of the blue slalom - Then she turned into an impeccable nurse, she was very good at managing the situation ".
During the intervention, an anecdote was told that says a lot about Federica's humanity; in fact, Dr. Irene Triggia of the USL of Piacenza revealed that she had contacted the management of the Aosta Valley on March 12, practically a few hours after officially winning the World Cup. “Three days later Federica's reply arrived, with a beautiful photo and a dedication for all of us engaged in the battle against Coronavirus. We were speechless ", explained Dr. Triggia, adding that" Faith has conquered the cup point by point, we have chased a virus that has changed our way of being ".
Finally, the message arrived from Deborah Compagnoni, who precedes Brignone by a single victory in the calculation of the Italian successes in the World Cup, which still sees the Valtellinese ahead of all: "It is nice to be able to celebrate Federica on this occasion, she deserves it not being able to do it at the end of the season. He did something unique. "
