‘Champions of Style’ Event in Delhi to Launch A CommonGoal

New delhi: The Embassy of Italy in New Delhi hosted “Champions of Style,” an event where sports, fashion, creativity, music, and dance intersected to celebrate the collaboration between Italy and India in the fields of fashion and sports. “Tools of friendship and dialogue, but also engines of economic growth, talent exchange and new business opportunities,” Ambassador Antonio Bartoli called them. “Fashion and sports represent two pillars of Italian identity and two universal languages that unite peoples,” he added.
