Andrea Devicenzi and Pomì together towards new achievements
Gruppo Casalasco, committed to the values of inclusion and sport as a source of inspiration, consistently supports the Paralympic athlete throughout his personal and athletic journey.
Sport as a driver of growth, inclusion, and motivation. These are the values underpinning the partnership between Andrea Devicenzi and Pomì, a Gruppo Casalasco brand synonymous with 100% Italian tomatoes from a certified supply chain.
The Paralympic athlete, holder of 10 Guinness World Records, is a tangible example of determination and resilience. Among his most significant achievements is the 24-hour indoor world record he set last year on the velodrome track in Palma de Mallorca: 602.990 kilometers covered with only one leg, an extraordinary result that brought Italian sporting excellence into the international spotlight.
Alongside his competitive activities, Devicenzi has for years pursued extensive educational and social work. Through "Project 22," he has met over 65,000 students in 350 Italian schools, sharing his story of strength, courage, and overcoming limitations. This is complemented by "Beyond the Impossible," an experiential program that has involved groups of young people in educational expeditions to Iceland, Cambodia, and the North Cape, transforming sporting challenges into opportunities for personal and collective growth.
"We deeply believe in sport as a tool for inspiration and change," comments Costantino Vaia, CEO of Gruppo Casalasco . "Andrea's story is an authentic testament to how commitment and determination can generate a positive impact on individuals and communities. These are the same values that guide the daily work of our farmers and the entire supply chain."
"The renewed trust from an organization like Gruppo Casalasco is a source of great pride for me," states Andrea Devicenzi . "Feeling the support of a company so deeply rooted in the region and so attentive to people is a significant motivation for me to continue pushing myself and pursuing my athletic and advocacy projects. Knowing that someone believes in my journey gives me the strength to face every new challenge."
As Italy's leading integrated industrial tomato supply chain, Gruppo Casalasco thus reaffirms its commitment to initiatives that generate value for the region and its communities, promoting sport as a universal language of inclusion, participation, and shared growth.
