By: Demetrios Sanders

You can always find a lot of red, white and blue inside of Little Caesars Arena. On Friday, you can also find a lot of green for the flag of Italy. The International Day of Sport is continuing to be celebrated by countries around the world. "It's a United Nations-sanctioned holiday and it's just about celebrating sports as a way to be inclusive, be together," said Allegra Baistrocchi, the consul of Italy in Detroit.

In her role as consul, Baistrocchi represents the Italian government in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. On Friday, she was one of dozens at Little Caesars arena as groups of Italians came together in honor of International Day of Sport. It was also an opportunity to showcase their heritage.
