Thousands of equipiers followed the XIII World Gathering in Turin 2024 on the live streaming platform from home all over the world. Many would have liked to participate had many problems with visas and access authorisations in our country.
The imposing machine of logistics: from registration to travel to hotel accommodation for the more than 7500 people present at the gathering was led by Mario and Maddalena Brossa, who emphasise that the couples: ‘could have been more if our embassies had not refused, despite all the documents produced, a not insignificant number of visas.
At least a hundred couples, after having bought even the plane ticket, could not leave. People who had saved up for years to be able to come to Turin. In spite of the great work done, even the Turin 2024 team could not meet all the requests from embassies and consulates, even though there were all the guarantees required. Many without a substantial balance in their bank account were denied a visa.
In any case, a lot has been done because, despite the difficulties, many situations have been recovered but it took constant work on individual cases, for each country.
