The 28th Congress of the European Committee for Sports History (CESH) will take place at the University of Salerno – Department of Humanities, Philosophy, and Education, from 3 to 5 September 2025.
The Congress will focus on the narrative of sports activities, a fundamental aspect of sports history since ancient times, and will bring together leading European scholars. The aim is to present innovative research that sheds light on underexplored aspects of the narrative of sports activities.
The Congress continues the University of Salerno’s long-standing tradition of research on the history of sports, which began in the 1980s. More recently, in 2022, the university hosted the 10th National Conference of the Italian Society for the History of Sport (SISS), Lo sport durante il fascismo: ricerche storiche e prospettive storiografiche a cento anni dalla marcia su Roma [Sport during Fascism: Historical Research and Historiographical Perspectives a Hundred Years after the March on Rome].
