Rome, Jan. 19, 2023 - Twelve stories of sport and success make up the "Alé Europe" series, winner of the European call for entries to enhance European cohesion policies.

Produced by Red Carpet, an ILBE Group company, the series is the first ever sports project belonging to the entertainment sector to win the European "Call for proposal - Support for information measures relating to the EU Choesion Policy."

"Alè Europe" is an original and novel format: 12 are the stars on the flag of the European Union, 12 are the stories focused on men and women protagonists of Italian sports, with a focus also on the Paralympic world. The narrative aims to be truly inclusive and democratic, as the values of our continent teach.

Throughout the 12 episodes, stories of victories, falls and rebirths of champions of the Italian sports scene are told. In parallel, we will see the story of successful projects made possible by European Union initiatives. Once again, sport becomes the tool to tell about other worlds.

"Alé Europe condenses all the most significant values of sport and of Europe: collaboration, democracy, passion, courage, and inclusion."- Commented Fabrizio Carratù, Producer and Founder of Red Carpet together with Ellida Bronzetti "For us at RED CARPET it is certainly a source of pride to have been selected to showcase some of the projects supported by the European Union that we have decided to tell through the Italian excellences of sport, today a point of reference for young people and for all of us. The project demonstrates the ILBE Group's ongoing commitment to succeed in proposing content increasingly in line with the new generations through collaboration with the main Italian streaming platforms."
