Sport and well-being

Sport is part of the city’s character.
In Pesaro sport has become a major factor in defining the city’s identity, a lifestyle based on physical and mental well-being, a “social philosophy” which embraces everyone, those who practise one of the many sports available which have placed Pesaro champions and teams at the top both nationally and internationally, and those who support them enthusiastically. 

The basketball and volleyball teams, motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi and swimmer Filippo Magnini all contribute to make Pesaro a “sports city”. Major sporting events are held here all the year round and there are many sports centres and venues available to the townspeople and to visitors. Practically every type of sport is represented: from cycling to athletics, from fencing to skating, and the many activities which centre on the sea and the beach – sailing, rowing, and beach volleyball.

Sport in Pesaro blends naturally with tourism: spectacular routes attract cycling enthusiasts from Italy and elsewhere, and the history of famous makers’ names and fine roads attract motorcyclists, while the many opportunities for swimmers and lovers of basketball and volleyball, or the opportunity to sail across the Adriatic are a magnet for many. Pesaro also lends itself to large-scale sporting events and competitions involving thousands of people.

In Pesaro sport and well-being are available for all.
