Abstract

Italy is a parliamentary republic in southern Europe. It is one of the most populated nations in the European Union—61 million inhabitants—and the fourth largest economy (the ninth in the world). In a similar way to many other European countries, Italy has developed a dynamic and efficient sport system. Especially in top-elite sport it represents one of the most successful nations in terms of Olympic medals and victories in international competitions. Since the establishment of the Italian Republic, after the end of the Second World War and the collapse of the Fascist regime, the Italian sport system has taken on uncommon and specific features. The peculiar role played by the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), along with the distinctive features of some of the actors operating in the system—like for instance the Sport Promotion Bodies representing some of the most innovative experiences of sport for all organisations in Europe—has defined an almost unique form and an interesting field of investigation.
