(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 30 – The Italian powerboating federation, organizer together with the Emilia Romagna Region and the company “Motonautica San Nazzaro”, of the two motorboating F1 Grand Prix, scheduled on the river Po on July 15-16-17 , at the Fim Federal Center of San Nazzaro d’Ongina, in light of the water emergency that has hit Italy and, in particular, the rivers and inland water basins, has decided to postpone the two races to the second half of the month of September.
“It was a very difficult decision to take – declared the president of Fim, Vincenzo Iaconianni -. Given the importance of the two events and in consideration of the fact that the organizational machinery of the two Grand Prixs had already been in motion for some time. But the unavoidable assessments made together with the Management of the Region and the Municipality of Monticelli d’Ongina (Piacenza) about the opportunity, also ethical, to keep the calendar of powerboat races in the current conditions of suffering of the Po river, led us to postpone everything until after the summer “.
