Search every verified Nerio Alessandri interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Nerio Alessandri has continued to advocate for a shift in public health priorities, arguing that governments and insurance companies allocate 97% of health spending to treatment rather than prevention. He has called for a "wellness deal" comparable to the Green Deal, emphasizing investment in education and school-based physical activity. Alessandri has stated that Italy has one of the lowest numbers of hours dedicated to health and sports education in schools in Europe, and he has described sedentary lifestyles as a leading contributor to chronic diseases. He has promoted the concept of "Wellness Valley" in his home region of Romagna, which he said has become 10% more active than the Italian average after 20 years of programming. In interviews, Alessandri has said that he avoids using the word "success," preferring to speak about results, innovation, and continuous improvement. He has described himself as "perennially inadequate" and said he lives each day as if on a "precipice." He has stated that his primary obsession is making Technogym "eternal" and leaving a legacy for new generations. He has characterized exercise as a "powerful medicine" that can be prescribed through technology, and he has described wellness as a holistic lifestyle approach that connects personal health with environmental sustainability. He has also noted Technogym's investments in companies such as Bending Spoons and Eight Sleep through its family office.

“Peccato che in Italia in particolare, ma nel mondo il 97-98% della spesa pubblica per la salute va nelle cure, nelle medicine, piuttosto che nella prevenzione, le scuole. Noi siamo in Italia il paese che ha minor numero di ore di educazione alla salute, allo sport, non dico al mondo, ma d'Europa rispetto a una Cina che ha 7-8 ore, rispetto a un'America che ha addirittura 9 ore, minimo 6. Noi siamo a due e ormai a una”
