Padel Zenter Scalo Farini is founded on a precise principle: sport must be accessible.
The center houses the Para Padel Project by Pippo Galliano, Italian wheelchair padel champion and founder of the project, who is committed to developing concrete access to the game.
The initiative for sports inclusion within the center also develops thanks to the invaluable collaboration of other important organizations such as Real Eyes Sport, led by Daniele Cassioli, and Bionic People, led by Alessandro Ossola, who provide support in promoting sport as an accessible tool.
PARA PADEL PROJECT
Para Padel Project is a non-profit initiative born from the direct experience of Pippo Galliano, who discovered in padel a way to restart after a spinal cord injury.
Para Padel Project works every day to make this sport accessible to all, donating sports wheelchairs and funding starter grants. It collaborates with clubs, instructors, and spinal units to create real pathways for returning to movement. It promotes culture, training, and inclusion through events, activities, and testimonials.
The goal of Para Padel Project and Pippo Galliano is simple: to build new opportunities in life through sport.

BIONIC PEOPLE
Bionic People is a non-profit association made up of people with various types of disabilities who have decided to commit themselves and tell their own story.
The association's goal is to change the common perception of disability and of what one can or cannot do after an accident.
For Alessandro Ossola (President and Co-founder) and his team, sport is the key to taking back control of one's life. For this reason, during meetings in schools and companies, Bionic People talks about the importance of sport and the values it transmits
