Francesca, Kean and Leonardo, three young people who survived the Crans-Montana tragedy, arrived at Coverciano to meet Italy's national team.
Visit to Coverciano
The three arrived at Coverciano late in the morning. They toured the Federal Technical Centre and were due to visit the Football Museum.
Meeting with Mancini
The three met national team head coach Roberto Mancini. According to the Figc, Mancini joked and chatted with them before he, Club Italia president Claudio Ranieri and Azzurri team manager Gabriele Oriali gave them national team shirts of their football idols.
Lunch with national-team figures
At lunch, the three joined the Azzurri and European and world champion Paralympic swimmer Luca Da Prato. Da Prato was accompanied by Roberto Bonanni, team leader and head coach of the Italian Paralympic swimming team.
The trophy enters the Football Museum
The CP national team arrived at Coverciano with the trophy it had lifted in England in July. The team were winners of the World Championship at the first international tournament held since the FIGC was recognised as a Paralympic federation.
The trophy was handed over to the Football Museum, where it now forms part of the collection telling more than a century of Azzurri history.
Daniele Cassioli watched the training session alongside athletes from Real Eyes Sport ASD, a sports association dedicated to promoting sport among partially sighted and blind people.
