THE GREAT SLALOM – A conversation with Deborah Compagnoni

A conversation with Deborah Compagnoni: an evening dedicated to the mountains, sport, and Olympic values

Fondazione Pesenti, with the support of Italmobiliare, is hosting a special event with Deborah Compagnoni, the most successful Italian skier in Olympic history. The meeting, scheduled for November 20 at gres art 671, offers an opportunity to retrace the career of one of the greatest figures in Italian sport.

Three Olympic gold medals and one silver across three different editions of the Games, three World Championship titles, and a Giant Slalom World Cup: an extraordinary list of achievements that has made Deborah Compagnoni a true legend of alpine skiing. During the talk, moderated by Cristina Fantoni, sports journalist for LA7’s Milan editorial team, the champion will share the most significant moments of her sporting life—from unforgettable victories to the challenges marked by injuries, and the strength and resilience that accompanied her throughout her competitive journey.

The conversation will also tackle her current commitments: from projects dedicated to winter sports, to her role as Ambassador for the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and her social engagement through the “Sciare per la Vita” ODV association, which for years has supported charitable initiatives focused on young people and the mountain environment.

An evening to meet up close a symbolic figure of Italian sport, capable of inspiring through her story, her values, and her extraordinary human journey.
