Mezzaluna Cup


The Mezzaluna Cup is an annual ice dance competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union, organized and hosted by the Italian [Ice Sports Federation] at the Palaghiaccio Mezzaluna in Mentana, in the Metropolitan [City of Rome Capital] in Italy. Medals may be awarded at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although competition at every level may not be held every year due to a lack of entrants.
The Mezzaluna Cup is held in honor of Simonetta Spalluto, an Italian ice dance referee and judge, who helped organize the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, as well as Walter Zuccaro, an Italian ice dance judge and member of the ISU Dance Technical Commission.
