Andrea Panizza and Luca Chiumento represented Italy at the Henley Royal Regatta alongside their national teammates, supported by Canali in a partnership that celebrates excellence, tradition and Italian craftsmanship beyond competition.


Sport is also defined beyond the racecourse. There are moments where performance, representation and style come together, shaping an athlete’s identity far beyond competition itself.

This is particularly true at the Henley Royal Regatta, one of the world’s most prestigious and iconic rowing events, where tradition, excellence and an uncompromising dress code are integral parts of the experience.

AYANA athletes Andrea Panizza and Luca Chiumento, Olympic silver medallists at Paris 2024 and World Champions, took part in the regatta alongside Italian National Team teammates Luca Rambaldi and Giacomo Gentili, once again supported by Canali, which dressed them for the event’s official engagements.

When a Brand Meets the Values of Sport

The Henley Royal Regatta is far more than an international rowing competition.

For almost two centuries, it has stood among the sport’s most prestigious events, where tradition extends beyond racing to every official and ceremonial occasion.

In this setting, clothing becomes an essential part of the experience, reflecting professionalism, belonging and attention to detail.

Canali perfectly embodies this vision, accompanying the athletes in an environment where style, heritage and sporting excellence share the same stage.

Partnerships That Create Value

At AYANA, building partnerships means creating authentic connections between brands and talent, identifying opportunities that genuinely reflect the values and positioning of both.

Canali is an internationally recognised symbol of Italian excellence, renowned for its craftsmanship, elegance and quality. These values naturally align with athletes who proudly represent Italy at the highest levels of international competition.

This collaboration demonstrates how a partnership can create value beyond competition itself, strengthening athletes’ image during institutional and representational occasions where every detail contributes to credibility and professionalism.

The Value of Partnerships Beyond Competition

The strongest collaborations between brands and athletes go beyond visibility, becoming a meaningful part of both the sporting and personal journey of each talent.

At iconic events such as the Henley Royal Regatta, every detail contributes to a story built around excellence, tradition and representation. It is precisely in these moments that partnerships gain even greater significance, reinforcing the relationship between brands and athletes through shared values such as quality, authenticity and the pursuit of excellence.

The collaboration with Canali is a clear example of this approach: supporting athletes not only during competition but also throughout the official moments that define their international image. A partnership that celebrates Italian excellence while demonstrating how sport, elegance and identity can come together in a single narrative capable of generating long-term value for both talent and brands.
