The 32nd America's Cup, "UNVEILING"
1 April 2007, Valencia

Sunday, 1 April, in Valencia, the defending champion and the eleven challengers unveiled the keel designs for their yachts for the America's Cup.
The unveiling ceremony began at 9:30 a.m. when all 12 teams had to drop the protective skirts that had been guarding the underbodies of their race boats.
Each team's boat or boats were on full display for the journalists and for the members of the other teams, who were able to look them over in the open area outside each team's station.
For the first time, a logo other than Prada's appeared on the hull of the Italian sailboat Luna Rossa: that of Intesa Sanpaolo.
The logo of Intesa Sanpaolo took its place beside those of Prada and Telecom Italia, the companies comprising the syndicate which, under the aegis of the Italian Yacht Club, supported Italy's bid for the thirty-second America's Cup by sponsoring Luna Rossa.
Beginning last April, twelve teams contended in Valencia for the oldest sailing trophy in existence. The colours and logo of Intesa Sanpaolo appeared on the middle of the hull of the Italian sailboat.

Winter Universiade 2007

On the heels of the 2006 Winter Olympics, Turin hosted another major international sporting event - the Universiade.
"Universiade" means university Olympics. It is a biennial sporting and cultural event for the best student athletes in winter sports.
Intesa Sanpaolo, the event's "top partner", accompanied the torch bearer and the "Flame of Knowledge" torch on its path through the principal Italian cities and their academic institutions.
This important initiative aims to bring the universal message of sport and of the university games to the local level.
Intesa Sanpaolo's commitment to the 2007 games further testifies its interest for young people, since it really believes in the importance of educating new generations to become the protagonists of Italy's future.
The bank offers a wide range of products and services tailored to the needs of young people who are studying, embarking upon a career, or buying their first home. Intesa Sanpaolo is among the few Italian institutions that offer student loans, an instrument that enables young people to invest in themselves and to demonstrate determination and a sense of responsibility, even before they start work.
