Edition 2025 — Welcome Castellania

The 2025 edition of Welcome Castellania was held on Thursday, January 2, 2025, on the 65th anniversary of Fausto Coppi's passing. As per tradition, the day combined a religious service in the church of Castellania with reflection before the Mausoleo dei Fratelli Coppi, featuring the presentation of international awards dedicated to sports journalism and cycling benefactors.

In 2025, Welcome Castellania celebrated the 65th anniversary of Fausto Coppi's death. The ceremony, starting at 10:30 AM, saw the awarding of sports journalism figures such as Guido Vaciago, director of Tuttosport, and Maurizio Iappini, as well as benefactor Guido Repetto, president of the Elah-Dufour-Novi Group. Recognition was also given to the Team Chiodini from Magenta, named ambassador of Casa Coppi in the world. For the occasion, in the Le strade che portano in cielo room of Casa Coppi, jerseys from Tadej Pogacar's 2024 victories were displayed alongside historical memorabilia from the Campionissimo's era.
