Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) is a famous Latin quotation. It derives from Satire X of the Roman poet Juvenal. It sums up somehow the importance that ancient Greek-Roman tradition gave to the body and health, a balance between body and mind for a happy life.

Nowadays Roman people still keep this notion and live in accordance to it. Ever since the most ancient times  Roman Sports have been  part of the culture and has had a relevant place in the life of its citizens.

This year just live up to the  the past editions, and  Rome will not only offer its classical beauty but also Big Gym, the sports village where you can relax enjoying  the ‘’Dolce far niente’’, keep fit and have fun as well.
Oh, I almost forgot, yes…Besides…It appears to be also a wonderful opportunity for socializing, since everyone  there will share a love for sports and physical activity, so you can meet people and experience the real everyday Roman people which is a  whole attraction by itself…
