In 1990, the Goodwill Games coupled outstanding athletic performances with cultural and business initiatives that further established their reputation as a world-class event. More than 2,300 of the world’s best athletes from 54 countries converged on Seattle to compete in 21 sports. Italy brought home the gold in men’s volleyball and would go on that same year to win again at the World Championships in volleyball. This exquisite gold medal was presented to a member of the Italian men’s volleyball team. The weighty award is inscribed “Men’s Volleyball” below the logo of the event on the obverse with more raised lettering proclaiming “1990 Goodwill Games, Seattle” on the reverse. In excellent condition, complete with the original multi-color ribbon and substantial blue velvet-lined presentation case. Very rare and desirable.
