At the European Swimming Championships, Italy won three silver medals, showcasing a remarkable performance in diving and relay events. The silver medals were secured by Elisa Cosetti in the women's 20-meter diving and the mixed 4 x 1.5 km relay, which included athletes such as Ginevra Taddeucci, Marcello Guidi, and captain Gregorio Paltrinieri.

In particular, the mixed relay finished behind Germany, which took the gold, while Hungary claimed the bronze. This performance marks a significant moment for the Italian national team, which continues to assert itself at the European level.

In another vein, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called Pellacani to congratulate him on behalf of all of Italy for the athletes' successes. Meloni expressed her appreciation for the determination and hard work that underpin these results.
