The 88th edition of the historic Capitoline competition will see 19 Parlanti Ambassadors representing 8 nations descend into the oval.

Italy branded “KK Boots” ranks Emilio Bicocchi, Piergiorgio Bucci, Bruno Chimirri, Lorenzo De Luca, Giampiero Garofalo, Emanuele Gaudiano, Giulia Martinengo Marquet, Luca Marziani and Alberto Zorzi.

Representing Belgium, Jerome Guery and Olivier Philippaerts; for Germany David Will.

The Irish testimonials are Bertram Allen, Darragh Kenny and Mark Mcauley, while the red-cross flag bears the name of Steve Guerdat.

Prestigious Dutch ambassador is Jeroen Dubbeldam, while the Swedish signature is pink with Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli.

The list of ambassadors of the Roman boot factory closes, last but not least, the American Jessica Springsteen.

“For reasons related to the downsizing of the event (due to health regulations, ed) and the exit of Parlanti from the roster of federal sponsors, this year we will be present only in person to support our athletes”, said the General Manager and Designer Daniele Parlanti.
