29/05/2011 · Bern, Switzerland · 89 photos

The day opens in the hall with the inaugural ceremony: hundreds of young people in the white CONI shirt wave small Italian flags in front of the Swiss flag, the Italian flag and the CONI banner, while the signs of the consular delegations of Zurich, St. Gallen and Liechtenstein, Neuchâtel and Lausanne are raised. The events continue outdoors in the athletics stadium, with track races, long jump and shot put, and on the grass pitches alongside the football tournaments are played between boys and girls aged eight to fifteen. The day closes with the prize-giving, the cup raised on the podium and medals around their necks.
