How far away is Paris and how much this gold medal at the Paralympics weighs against all odds. Matteo Parenzan, tennis player from Trieste, is almost a star on the banks of Trieste where the 56th Barcolana will begin tomorrow.

The encounter with this element was beautiful, I had fears which then disappeared in an instant – he says – even if I don't really feel “at home” while sailing.
