The Fipsas jury, which organized the finals, handed the championship into the hands of one of the greatest exponents of world photography. “A dream come true – explained Sesso – because competing with athletes of great caliber like in this case is really complicated. I won the scudetto, I bring it back to ‘my’ Calabria and it’s as if I had the world championship gold around my neck. Italy under water is a unique gem, we should get to know it even more.”
