A loss not only for the sport of Porto Torres but for the whole island. Giovanni Sedda, from Porto Torres, died at the age of 79 . Former marshal of the Carabinieri at the time of banditry, Giovanni Sedda is a name known to Sardinian sportsmen of various disciplines.

Founder of two sport fishing companies, the Gommonautica sports group and the Turritano diving center, he organized the European spearfishing sport cup in Stintino, the Italian underwater photographic hunting championships and various trophies throughout Sardinia.

As a good portotorrese he was also president of the Turritano MTB cycling company, as well as at the top of various sports promotion bodies such as CSEN and ACSI.

Really many disciplines that saw him at the forefront as an organizer : he supported several karate sports clubs such as the Budokan Sorso of the teacher and friend Angelo Sanna, 5-a-side football, athletics, judo, dynamic shooting and even motorsport companies, precisely because he had all sport at heart and was always ready to lend a hand in promoting events and championships.

The appointment as Cavaliere dello Sport received a few years ago in Genoa is well deserved.
