The presentation of sports best sellers continued in the afternoon in Piazza Duomo. The audience was immersed in the life stories of champions and people who have adopted adventure, challenge and sport as a way of life. Such as Ferdinando De Giorgi, coach of the men's national volleyball team, who with 'Egoisti di squadra' wanted to realise his desire to provide motivation to those who love sport, want to practise it and want to challenge themselves to succeed in feats considered impossible. Like that of Guendalina Sibona, writer, ultrarunner and mountain lover, who covered 450 km, 32,000 metres of altitude difference in 190 hours on the Tor des Glaciers on the Alte Vie in Valle d'Aosta. 'Limits do not exist', Paralympic cycling champion Andrea Pusateri also said in his book of the same title. Without a leg since he was four years old, he is now an ultra-cycler, triathlete, and Ironman. The series of meetings closed with the book 'Quanti sassi nei miei sandali' (Vitrend) by Giacomo Santini. One of Italy's most popular sports radio commentators, Santini said he wanted to share a century of sports history, but not only, with his travel notes, written 'to aid memory when it recedes into the mists of age'.
