America's Cup: Naples wins the April 2013 stage

Finally the news arrived that we expected so much from the challenge between Naples and Venice: it will be the capital of Naples to host the next round of the World Series. The preparatory races for the America's Cup will be held from 16 to 21 April 2013 in the waters of our city.

The organizers of the competition, including Stephen Barclay, the CEO of the 34ma Copa America, as well as the mayor De Magistris and the President of the Campania Region, Stefano Caldoro, said they were very happy with the news and immediately expressed their satisfaction. The two Neapolitan politicians declared, in a joint note:

La institutional collaboration, of all, in the interest of citizens, it has allowed us to obtain another important result. It was not taken for granted. The America's Cup in Naples again next year is the confirmation of the appreciation for the work we are doing

There are, however, the controversy also on this occasion. The disappointment notes come from the challenger Venezia. To the words of Barclay, who want Naples as "the only stage scheduled in Europe in 2013", the mayor Giorgio Orsoni replied with much disappointment that the Venetian city already has a contract with the organization of the America's Cup which foresees the holding of the 2013 competitions in the city of Venice.

It is Orsoni himself who says that “if it were true that Naples is the only Italian office, it means that they are used to disregarding contracts. It seems like a lot to me reaction. I think ", he added" that Larry Allison, the owner of the America's Cup, is unaware of what his staff is up to and that if he knew he would be ashamed of their actions ".

In this way, we expect to shed light on the matter. Meanwhile, the mayor Orsoni is not there and questions the seriousness of the organizers of the event because "if the exclusion of Venice were true it would seem to me a very serious thing for people who would like to present themselves on the world stage as organizers of great events ”.
