Reale Mutua and Jury Chechi Celebrate the Launch of “Back in the Game” with a Milanese Cocktail
A pre-evening cocktail that felt more like a warm-up than a social event: this is how Reale Mutua chose to present “Back in the Game,” the new series airing on Sky Sport Arena on October 13th at 7 PM, hosted by Olympic gold medalist Jury Chechi. The setting was Art & Body by Sara Ventura, at Ripa di Porta Ticinese 75—a former Milanese factory, now a location closely tied to the theme of sports—transformed for the occasion into a set where the tone of the web series came to life through “photo opp-oriented” installations and details echoing the series’ graphics and logo.
Not a typical premiere, but a moment blending the locker room atmosphere with the lightness of a Milanese aperitif. Jury Chechi, host and teammate, alternated smiles and candid conversations with guests, with the same direct, no-filter style that will also define him on screen. The message was clear: sports as a school of resilience, trust, and sharing, not just performance. Among the guests at the event, held just steps from the Navigli, were Marco Belinelli, Cristiana Girelli, Saturnino Celani, Alessandro Della Giusta, Paride Vitale, Maddalena Corvaglia, and Antonio Colomboni. Meanwhile, the series features champions like Errani, Buffon, Belinelli, Girelli, Capirossi, and comedian Lillo. Each brings their own story of achievements and setbacks, training and comebacks.
The pre-evening cocktail thus became a narrative prelude, a taste of the spirit Back in the Game aims to convey: the courage to get back in the game, both in sports and in life. Because between a toast and an anecdote, the real victory is always the one shared.
