Gruppo Asta Padova
Gruppo Asta Padova has been active since 1972 and is recognized nationally and internationally for its training for pole vault athletes and coaches.
Since 2018 it has been based inside Palaindoor Padova, becoming a leading hub for pole vault, welcoming international athletes and collaborating with foreign federations.
Among its most iconic events: street pole vault competitions like “700 Stelle volano con Giotto”, held in front of Padova’s Cappella degli Scrovegni, and “800 Stelle volano sul Bo”, staged in front of the historic University of Padova, the “Padova Pole Vault Convention”, an internationally recognized convention, and “Just Jump”, an educational project bringing pole vault to parks across Padova.
Over the years, the group has trained elite athletes, including Elisa Molinarolo, Olympic pole vaulter at Tokyo 2020 and sixth place finisher at Paris 2024, coached by Marco Chiarello.
Corpo Libero
Corpo Libero was born in 1995 from two friends and colleagues, passionate about artistic gymnastics, fitness, and, above all, sport itself. What started as a small group of gymnasts has grown into a multi-sport organization, supported by the development of the Palaindoor Padova, a facility built in close collaboration with the City of Padova.
Today, Corpo Libero organizes a wide range of activities, from summer camps to technical workshops, educational training for coaches, and national or international events. With over 1.700 members across the Padova area, it has become a true reference point for sport, not only locally, but nationally.
Sport & Marketing
Sport & Marketing is an events and communication agency based in Padova. It offers services for sports clubs and companies that want to grow through the values of sport. Founded by Gianfranco Beda, a former pole vaulter (5m50), it has helped Gruppo Asta Padova in the realisation of numerous events and competitions, taking care of both organisation and communication.
