History

Foundation

The team was then admitted to the N.F.-Board and the signing of the registration act to the federation took place in Seborga at the presence of the President of CONS Marcello Paris, the Crown Counselor for Sports Giuseppe Bernardi, the Crown Counselor for Foreign Affairs and Princess Consort Nina Menegatto and the Seborgan Representative for Alsace Marcel Mentil.[4] The board of directors of the FCPS is composed by Claudio Gazzano, Matteo Bianchini, Marcel Mentil and Linda Chittolini.
