Luna Rossa prepares to return

Luna Rossa returns to the sea, even though at the end of the previous race in Auckland it seemed that Patrizio Bertelli had decided to call it a day. But according to the sporting world grapevine, he and Francesco De Angelis are working hard at the definition of the third America's Cup.

Alongside Prada (or instead of, the exact role has still be established) on the sails of the new crew's yachts we could be seeing Leonardo Del Vecchio's Luxottica Group, which has signed an agreement with Prada for the production and distribution of eyewear. Prada is of course the second best-known Italian brand in the world.

Four cities are still in the race for the next America's Cup in the Mediterranean: Naples, Venice, Marseilles and Lisbon.
