The Italian American Baseball Foundation and Federation of Italian Baseball and Softball signed a memorandum of understanding to further the strong and growing partnership between both organizations. Joe Quagliano, President and Founder of IABF, and Andrea Marcon, President of FIBS, signed shared copies of the document prior to the 2022 IABF Gala at Giando on the Water in Brooklyn on December 1.

Officials from IABF and FIBS, including Team Italy manager and Baseball Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, were with Quagliano and Marcon during the signing. Both organizations have worked to facilitate baseball opportunities both in American and Italy with the purpose of growing the game. There are a number of projects set to launch in 2023 that will extend each side’s commitment.
