The 23rd edition of Brescia Art Marathon is celebrated in memory of our close friend and colleague Walter Bassi.
Walter left us prematurely last March when he lost his life in a tragic accident while hiking in the mountains. A talented athlete from a young age, he continued his growth under the guidance of Dr. Gabriele Rosa becoming a successful marathon runner. In adulthood, he was an esteemed technician and coach.
 
Point of reference for the world of running in Valle Camonica, it has promoted and organized sporting initiatives which have become fixed events for runners in the area and beyond. His name is linked above all to the famous half marathon “Io21zero97”, of which he was the creator and esteemed organizer.
 
Many recognitions from the Athletics Federation and the institutions with which he collaborated. Inspirational and motivator, he had the great merit of making the running movement grow in Valle Camonica. He was President of the Corrintime sports club and passionately dedicated his experience and professionalism to young athletes, who have achieved notable results in recent years.
Our hearts mourn Walter, but his spirit will live forever in our memories.
