A ceremony was held in Bogliasco to inaugurate Piazzale Paolo Mantovani, an area surrounding the local sports fields. The space includes the Gloriano Mugnaini sports field and training grounds used by Sampdoria youth teams and FC Bogliasco.
The dedication honors Paolo Mantovani, who served as the president of Sampdoria from 1979 to 1993. The initiative was requested by the Sampdoria Club Bogliasco and supported by Federclubs.
Over two hundred fans attended the event. Francesca Mantovani unveiled the commemorative plaque, which was subsequently blessed by Monsignor Silvio Grilli. Attendees included Bogliasco Mayor Luca Pastorino, regional official Alessandro Piana, and various representatives from CONI and FIGC, alongside Sampdoria corporate leadership and former players such as Attilio Lombardo, Luca Pellegrini, and Marco Lanna.
