Hungarian University of Sports Science

It is our pleasure to announce that the University of Physical Education, Budapest, Hungary; the Hungarian Embassy in Rome, the Hungarian Academy of Rome (Falconieri Palace) and the University of Rome, “Foro Italico” holds a joint commemoration and conference in honor of the 1956 events in Hungary and its international impact.

The date of the event: October 17, 2016.

The conference is the first event of the “Rome-Capistrano Memorial Long Distance Running-Cycling Tour”, along with the participation of Hungarian and Italian university students to commemorate the 1956 events in both countries. Italy deserves special appreciation for supporting the Hungarian freedom fighters, who had to leave their home country and Italy became their new home.

The conference is organized by the lecturers and colleagues of the University of Physical Education.
