It is with great pleasure and immense honour that I have the opportunity to welcome orienteers from all over the world, especially those attending the World Championships in Italy. I am sure that the areas selected will offer a picture of outstanding natural beauty, spectacular arenas and some of the most beautiful mountains in Italy. The technical terrain and the added value offered by Venice will satisfy the most demanding expectations. This will be a great sporting event and an opportunity to show the Orienteering world, once again, that Italy can organize events with great professionalism, using all our best resources.
