Stelle nello Sport

Stelle nello Sport has supported the Gigi Ghirotti Foundation since 2000. The Foundation provides social and healthcare assistance to people with incurable illnesses who require palliative care, both at home and in two Hospices in Genoa.

In 2022, Gigi Ghirotti formally became a Third Sector Foundation. More than half of its resources come from private donations and fundraising events.

This “Auction” has historically been promoted by Stelle nello Sport, the project created by Michele Corti (a member of the Gigi Ghirotti Foundation’s Board of Directors), which promotes the values of sport in Liguria and organizes numerous events of social interest.

To date, Stelle nello Sport has donated over 500,000 euros to the Foundation, which is chaired by Prof. Franco Henriquet.

The Auction is dedicated to the memory of Gian Luigi Corti, renowned journalist and sports executive, who founded the Stelle nello Sport project alongside his son Michele.

The brightest stars in world sport have stood by our side: from Valentino Rossi to Federica Pellegrini, from Bebe Vio to Alex Zanardi. And also Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Milito, Del Piero, Totti, Mancini, Ibrahimović, Buffon, Platini, Retegui, Yildiz, Leão, Lautaro Martínez, Magnini, Pizzo, Tempesti, Tamberi, Straneo, Vettel, Eto’o, Vanessa Ferrari, Piccinini, Pennetta, Vezzali, Moioli, Egonu, Orro, Antonio Rossi, Nino Benvenuti, Cammarelle, Sagan, Bugno, Bargnani, McEnroe, Fognini, Campriani, Errigo, Barlaam, Gilli, Musetti, Bagnaia, Cobolli… and many others.
