Elisabetta Cocciaretto was welcomed for the first time to Palazzo H, CONIs headquarters, by President Luciano Buonfiglio and General Secretary Carlo Mornati for the presentation of the Collare dOro for sporting merit.The Italian tennis player was one of the key figures in the outstanding triumph at the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup, a success that also saw her and her team-mates received by the President of the Republic at the Quirinale on Monday 4 May.These days in Rome have left me with so many emotions, said the world No. 41, who was accompanied by her coach Fabio Scolari and FITP Federal Councillor Graziano Risi. Going to the Quirinale, playing three evening matches at the Foro Italico and receiving the Collare dOro is incredible. And I had never been to CONI before. I will carry the emotions of these weeks with me forever. I am extremely happy and satisfied.Being alongside athletes and being able to present them with an award that represents the highest honour in Italian sport gives us enormous gratification. Young people like Elisabetta are an example both on the court and in the way they conduct themselves said CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio.
