A project that began a long time ago, thanks to an extraordinary meeting of excellence that allowed the creation of a medical-sports discipline-in the spa field-for cutting-edge athletic training in the heart of the Romagna Apennines. The club’s corporate vision has brought the club back into elite professional football through structural investments, a strong brand identity, and deep territorial cohesion. In this new context, the club’s youth sector is considered the basis of the project, with the aim of making Ravenna FC the point of reference for young footballers in the province and has found a valuable partner in the Terme di Riolo.

The project’s health pillar is programs that take advantage of the chemical and physical properties of thermal waters, particularly the Breta, sulfurea, and Salsoiodica, salsobromoiodica sources, which represent a strategic resource for the health of young athletes.

Dott.ssa Mara Angela Mascherpa, Dir. Sanitaria Terme di Riolo:

“We are happy to make our facility, our specialists and above all our thermal waters available to Ravenna Football Club 1913, a true natural and versatile therapeutic facility. The characteristics of our springs allow us to act on the nose, throat and bronchi, strengthening the immune system, helping to prevent infections and improving breathing while baths in the thermal pool promote rapid recovery from muscle fatigue, relaxing and toning, thanks to the anti-inflammatory, draining and decontracting actions of the Salsoiodic spring”

From the end of July, training courses ranging from under 15 to spring training will be hosted and during the mini-retreats, personalized programs will be developed, consisting of inhalation treatments to improve lung capacity and prevent airway diseases, ensuring better oxygenation during competitive effort and functional recovery thanks to the use of the 34°C salt-iodine thermal pool for post-training session therapy sessions. The use of the same allows to reduce joint load, promoting the drainage of lactic acid and accelerating recovery times after prolonged efforts but also blunt or distorting trauma. At the end of the sessions, walks through the greenery of the immense Thermal Park will be included in the program. This physical activity offers unique benefits for young athletes, combining athletic training with the therapeutic properties of the environment. The centuries-old 13-hectare park offers oxygen-rich, pollutant-poor air, improving respiratory efficiency and lung capacity. Training in a pleasant place and in contact with nature promotes the overall well-being of the body and the mental focus of athletes.

The proximity between the thermal facilities and the municipal sports field closes the frame, allowing a fluid logistics, model “American Campus”.

Massimiliano De Gregorio, Head of the Ravenna FC Youth Sector:

“This initiative goes along with our philosophy of following the young athlete at 360°. From physical well-being thanks to the path structured by doctors, to physical and athletic training activities in anticipation of the start of the sports season, then moving on to the technical and tactical foundations for the formation of the teams that will compete in the national championships, up to the mental experience of experiencing a retreat like a first team.”

The goals of the collaboration, in addition to increasing sports performance and reducing injuries, are part of a context of human growth for young people, educating them in a culture of total well-being; both of body and mind. Another goal shared by the two companies concerns the desire to enhance local marketing, strengthening the link between our province’s excellence and promoting Riolo Terme as a top-tier destination for athletes.

Following the debut of the lifestyle collection — which marked the first time Cipriani entered the sportswear universe, reinterpreting football heritage through a sophisticated and international perspective — Ravenna by Cipriani now expands its vision into the world of padel with two exclusive rackets.

The project will be unveiled on May 28 at the Golden Goose Arena in Milan, continuing a journey that defines sport as a cultural language and a contemporary aesthetic expression, in dialogue with the Cipriani imagination and the sporting identity of Ravenna Football Club.

The two padel rackets are conceived as expressions of the same design and aesthetic code, interpreted through two complementary attitudes: one more essential and controlled, the other more intense and dynamic. Not merely technical instruments, but objects that interpret the sporting gesture as an expression of style and belonging.

The first model is built around an idea of balance and refinement. Its balanced construction delivers smooth and natural control of the game, while the tobacco-colored leather-effect grip introduces a tactile and sensory detail that recalls the warm and sophisticated aesthetic of the collection.

The second model expresses a more energetic and vertical tension, where structure and materials interact with a more performance-oriented dimension of movement, while maintaining precision and solidity on impact.

Both rackets are presented inside a special velvet-covered box, conceived not only as packaging but as a ritual object, completed with a coordinated racket holder. An element that enhances the experiential dimension of the project, transforming the product into a collectible piece.

Con questo nuovo progetto, Ravenna by Cipriani continua a sviluppare una narrazione che supera la logica della sponsorship tradizionale per esplorare il rapporto tra sport, stile e appartenenza contemporanea. Un approccio che interpreta il padel non solo come disciplina sportiva, ma come esperienza sociale, estetica e culturale condivisa.

The artistic direction of the project has been entrusted to Milan-based Creative Director Giorgio Mallone.

La società prosegue nel proprio percorso di coinvolgimento del territorio, elemento centrale per rafforzare il senso di appartenenza alla squadra della città.

In questa direzione, e per dare ulteriore slancio all’iniziativa, in occasione della partita Ravenna FC – Vis Pesaro, in programma sabato 18 marzo alle ore 20.30 allo Stadio “Bruno Benelli”, siamo lieti di invitare tutte le società calcistiche del territorio ravennate.
