    The European urban regeneration project Re-Gen, led by the Municipality of Verona, will come to an end in December 2025. The last event on the programme took place on Sunday 14 December at Casa Verona, with Mayor Damiano Tommasi, Councillor for Youth Policies Jacopo Buffolo, the project's protagonists and the young skaters of the Artiskate junior quartet, world champions in roller skating in Beijing 2025. Before the meeting, 150 young girls and boys from Verona were able to try their hand at two hours of ice skating, offered by Re-Gen, with the help of two instructors and free skate and rink hire.
