One Award is named after Michele Di Donato (1915 – 1990), a major Italian and European Sport Historian. For thirty-five year he taught sport history at the ISEF in Rome, was responsible for its journal and researched Italian sport history from antiquity onward. He was one of the few sport historians who could really claim to be universal – and not specialists for particular time periods or themes. The price is sponsored by his friends from the Centro Studi per l’educazione fisica e lo sport of Florence. In the last two year this Centre offered an award in the honor of Michele Diana (1926-2004), historians from Florence, CESH fellow, President of the CESH Congress in Florence in 1999. He was also editor of great works in history of the Art and local history.
The other price in the years 1998 till 2003 was named after Franz Nachtegall (1777 – 1847), the Danish and European gymnastics pioneer, who established the first gymnastics institute in Denmark and was instrumental in providing gymnastics in the Danish schools for the children of the common people already in 1814 (earlier than any place else in Europe). As early as 1799 he founded a gymnastics institute in Copenhagen, the first in Europe to prepare physical education teachers. Nachtegall is at the root of Danish but also of European gymnastics and physical education. The price is sponsored by the Danish Gymnastics Federation.
In 2004 CESH wished to remember Daniele Paz, a student at the Universitad Politécnica di Madrid, who had attended our previous congresses, a victim of the 2004 March 11 bombings in Madrid.
Other Joung Scholar Awards was dedicated to: Romano Pontisso, cycling champion, many-times member of the national team, winner in Berlin in the pre-Olympic competition (1936). Gold Medal for Sports Valour of CONI. Responsible for 40 years for the Roman session of national athletes.
The Michele Diana Award is donated by Paolo Allegretti in memory of his father and by the Centro Studi per l’educazione fisica e l’attività sportiva in Florence in memory of Michele Diana.
