Initiatives honoring the legacy of the late Paralympic champion and former racing driver Alex Zanardi have emerged in Italy. 

The Obiettivo3 association launched SportLab, a mobile academy designed to identify and train young athletes with disabilities through itinerant campuses across Italy. The program focuses on disciplines such as paracycling, paratriathlon, and archery, with initial sessions scheduled to begin in Messina.

Concurrently, the Montecatone Rehabilitation Institute in Imola is hosting a photographic exhibition titled ‘ALEX ZANARDI #1 DI NOI’. Organized in collaboration with the Zanardi family and Obiettivo3, the exhibition traces Zanardi’s life from his 2001 racing accident to his success in para-sports. The event coincides with the 25th anniversary of his accident and emphasizes the use of physical activity for rehabilitation and social inclusion.
