SAN MARNO – Il Titano, through the sports secretariat, expresses its condolences for the passing of Alex Zanardi: “The news of the passing of Alex Zanardi It leaves a void that words can hardly fill. Not just a champion is leaving; A man who was able to transform pain into a new, extraordinary form of energy leaves us. His bond with the Titan was profound, sealed in 2019 when he received the honor of the Magisterium of Sant’Agata. That day, between emotion and pride, Alex reminded us that difficulties are not obstacles, but tools to improve ourselves every day.
Today that lesson resonates louder than ever. Zanardi never asked for compassion, he demanded life. He did it with the smile of someone who looked the abyss in the eye and came back to tell us that the real victory does not lie in the finish line, but in the ability to start running again, in any way and by any means.
“With Alex, a beacon of humanity and dignity disappears,” declares the Secretary of State for Sport, Rossano Fabbri. “His move to San Marino left an indelible mark, not only for his sporting value, but for the immense vital energy he was able to convey. He taught us that it is never over until we decide it, showing us how fragility can become a revolutionary force. The Republic owes him a big thank you for showing us the most beautiful face of sport.”
San Marino rallies around the family in this moment of deep mourning. Have a good trip, Alex.”
