Everything is ready for the second edition of the Rugby Village Music Fest, the sporting event to be held next 28 and 29 July in Milazzo, in piazza N'gonia Tono. The event, organized by Amatori Milazzo Rugby and sponsored by the Ministry of Sport, the Ministry of Defense, the State Police, the Sicily Region and the Municipality of Milazzo, will kick off at 11 on Saturday for the reception of companies from all Italy, who will participate in the minirugby tournament.
The presence of the champions of Rugby and of the Italian national team is expected including Martin Castrogiovanni, Fabio Ongaro (Benetton Treviso), Simone Ragusi (Petrarca Padova), Giovanni Licata and Giovanbattista Venditti (Zebre rugby), Simone Favaro, Massimiliano Bizzozero and Marco Suaria (Gold Flames). Some of the main Rugby clubs on the national scene will participate in the event: Cus Milano with its coach Giorgio Intoppa. Representing the Italian Rugby Federation - which has given fundamental support to the initiative - will be present the President of the Italian Rugby Federation Dr. Alfredo Gavazzi, the national vice-president Salvatore Perugini, the federal secretary Dr. Claudio Peruzza and the regional president Orazio Arancio with all members of the regional committee.
For the occasion, Poste Italiane has provided an institutional stand where a postcard dedicated to the event will be distributed with a philatelic cancellation. The Fiamme Oro sports group of the State Police will carry out demonstration initiatives on safety. The rugby museum will exhibit some of the jerseys from all over the world.
During the tournament, Giuliano Braglia will be the father of Rebecca, a girl who has distinguished herself for her passion for playing rugby. On Saturday, around the 18 hours, the band of the Aosta Brigade of Messina is scheduled to show the event with the Mameli anthem.
As in any respectable rugby festival there will be no lack of the most famous and indispensable "ritual": a long third time signed by the official sponsors of the Italian National Rugby team, who have always been close to the oval ball and the values it represents, like passion, loyalty, commitment, respect and friendship. Algida and McDonald, sponsor of the event, will donate ice-creams to the children.
The event is also supported by Coca Cola and Trenitalia, which has contributed with an advertising campaign on trains and in large stations. There will also be entertainment for children, from inflatables to the playground.
