Federazione Ginnastica d'Italia

What Federazione Ginnastica d'Italia does

Federazione Ginnastica d'Italia (FGI), founded in 1869 and headquartered at Viale Tiziano n.70 in Rome, is the sole national governing body for gymnastics in Italy recognized by CONI, the CIO, FIG and UEG. Operating as a non-profit, it manages 10 gymnastics disciplines (Artistic Men/Women, Rhythmic, Trampoline, Aerobic, Acrobatics, Parkour, TeamGym, Gymnastics for All, and Salute e Fitness) through a national head office and 20+ regional and provincial committees covering every major Italian region.

Its core products are governance and member-service platforms rather than consumer software: the Tesseramento federale membership system, the Portale Servizi FGI service portal, the Calendario Gare competition calendar/results system, and the digital Il Ginnasta magazine (published quarterly since 1900). It also delivers coach and judge certification through its Formazione platform and provides multi-risk member insurance in partnership with Unipol SAI and broker Aon. Supporting assets include a media gallery, a network of official sponsors (Freddy for apparel, Pastorelli and Geogym for equipment, Vivaticket for ticketing, Taopatch for wearable tech, plus Trentino as regional sponsor), and media distribution via La7 and SportFace.

The federation is funded through five streams: recurring membership fees from athletes, coaches, judges and clubs via the tesseramento system; transaction-based competition entry fees for national championships and the Serie A/B/C league; professional-services revenue from coach and judge certification courses; licensing/sponsorship revenue from commercial partners; and direct public funding from CONI, Sport e Salute and the Dipartimento per lo Sport for Olympic preparation and operations. Its customer base spans competitive athletes, professional coaches and technicians, affiliated clubs, certified judges and officials, and recreational participants reached through the Gymnastics Corner and Salute e Fitness programs.

Broad incumbents

While not a direct peer in gymnastics specifically, CONI shapes the operating environment for all Italian national sports federations including FGI.
• Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG): International federation that governs gymnastics worldwide and is the umbrella body to which FGI is affiliated. While operating at a global rather than national level, FIG provides the regulatory and competition framework (World Championships, World Cups, Olympic events) that defines FGI's operating context and peer set.
