Description
Casa Italia will be located at Le Pré Catelan, a magnificent Napoleon III-style building nestled in Paris’s largest park, the Bois de Boulogne. This historic venue, with its rooms flooded with light and surrounded by gardens, holds special significance for sports enthusiasts. It was here, in 1894, that Pierre de Coubertin announced the revival of the Modern Olympic Games — a moment that forever changed the world of sports. The theme for Paris 2024 will be “Ensemble”.

Inspired by de Coubertin’s principles, it serves as a meeting point for athletes, officials, and guests. Here, the utopia of brotherhood becomes a tangible reality, transcending borders and celebrating our shared humanity.
