International Green Regatta “Memorial Paolo d’Aloja”

THE EVENT HISTORY


Due to the special environmental conditions: lack of winds and currents, and a 2’200 metre long rectangular section, the Italian Rowing Federation decided, at the end of 70’s, to locate the National Centre in Piediluco where athletes can stay for training all year round. The centre is an official venue for national and international competitions. One of the most important competitions is the Memorial Paolo d’Aloja, International Regatta established to honour the memory of Paolo d’Aloja, President of Italian Rowing Federation in the 70’s and 80’s.


The regatta, since its first editions, has been characterised by a good technical competive level due to the presence of numerous Olympic and world champions. The event, in 2025 had a special format on 500 metres.
