The idea is provocative-League's director of the Province of Padova Pietro Giovannoni, that in the planning stages of the 12th edition of the San Antonio Marathon, scheduled for April 17, 2011, proposed a sharp cut to the financial commitment of public bodies. A new controversy broke out in Padua, after the kind words for the shock of Councillor on Facebook Aliprandi against Roma.
"Has anyone played with malice and joke my idea - says Giovannoni, an entrepreneur who is also the role of chairman of the City Council Vigonza (Padova) - only because the core of the athletes of color is that it costs more.

Padua, Giovannoni said, costs about one million euro and local authorities already do their part with the use of brigade, civil protection, security of the route. "Assindustria Padova which organizes the marathon - emphasizes the exponent of the league - certainly has its advantage: you pay more." Last night, during the provincial council as he struggled the course of the race, Giovannoni would support the futility of a competition to fund "or other non-African athletes in their underwear."
