The sailing event was attended by highime Directorate for Eastern Sicily, who expressed their support for the cause. Endometriosis volunteer Chiara Catalano highlighted the progress made in Sicily thanks to regional legislation that established diagnostic centers specializing in the disease. The conference in Syracuse will focus on prevention and research, with various medical specialists to provide a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment. The event was organized in collaboration with the Italian Naval League, which contributed confiscated vessels for the sailing event.
