The Chamber unanimously approved the amendment to the art. 33 of the Constitution introducing the new paragraph «The Republic recognizes the educational, social and psychophysical well-being value of sporting activity in all its forms». In the original text of the Constitution published in 1948, sporting activity therefore did not appear anywhere.

Sport in the Constitution represents the first stage of a journey that concentrates, in a few words, a profound meaning and an inestimable value, which we can summarize in the hope of 'sport for all and everyone', part of the indispensable 'social immune defenses' and important contribution to improving the quality of life of people and communities. We hope that this is the beginning of an expansion of the benefits of doing physical activity, of promoting the culture of movement, which in our country has never been fully guaranteed (just look at how the subject of physical education is considered in our country ).
AND WHAT CHANGES NOW?
"Inserting the explicit recognition of the educational value of sport into the Constitution means that from today onwards the State will not only have to regulate sporting activity, but will have to actively promote it, and therefore valorising sporting activity in schools, for example by hiring new teachers and educators in this area“, explained the constitutionalist Alfonso Celotto, professor of Constitutional Law at the Roma Tre University via the pagellapolitica.it website.

Now we must systematize European and national financial resources to ensure that sport is increasingly present in public policies.
