Emanuela Maccarani: Baku has changed a lot and become more beautiful

Emanuela Maccarani, the coach of the Italian national rhythmic gymnastics team, told Vestnik Kavkaza that "the hall is very beautiful and everything is very beautiful, everything was done in a very good way."

"I am pleased that we had a chance to practice in a such a great hall. Everything we saw was just great," she said.

"I went to the city yesterday. I liked it. I was here in 2005 when Italy won its first medal at the world championships. I think the city has changed a lot since that time and become much more beautiful. Everything changed and now looks much more beautiful and expensive. There were a lot of people on the streets, even though it was Thursday. People want to have a walk, to party," the coach said.
