The permanent exhibition "Tennis in Cuneo since 1928" offers a unique opportunity to
delve into the fascinating history of tennis, bridging the past, present, and future in an
engaging experience. Located at Cuneo's Sports Palace, this exhibition celebrates the rich
tennis tradition through a selection of wooden rackets donated to the CRC Foundation
from Collector Sergio Parola. The project was promoted by the Municipality of Cuneo and
the CRC Foundation.
The exhibition stands out for its warm and welcoming environment, where the color of the
red clay tennis courts dominates the interior of the showcase, enveloping visitors in an
authentic and engaging atmosphere. The wooden rackets, carefully arranged along the
back wall of the showcase, stand out against a backdrop reminiscent of the characteristic
red clay of tennis courts, creating a tangible connection to the deep roots of tennis. Each
racket, with its intricate details and stories filled with passion and dedication, harmoniously
blends with the surrounding environment, conveying the authentic essence of tennis
practiced according to ancient traditions.
At the center of the exhibition space, a white three-dimensional structure captures visitors'
attention, echoing the distinctive lines and proportions of a tennis court in an artistic and
innovative representation. This unique architectural element adds depth and dynamism to
the environment.
The texts displayed as window decals were written by Franco Alciati, writer and president
of the Tennis Collectors Association.
Through this combination of visual and historical elements, the "Tennis in Cuneo since
1928" exhibition offers a unique perspective on the tennis tradition, celebrating its history,
culture, and lasting impact.
