Bologna, 22 April 2026 – The new episode of Campus Talks, the podcast created by Macron with the aim of using sport as a starting point to meet people and discover stories worth telling, is now available on major digital platforms.
The guest of the sixth episode is Gonzalo Quesada, Head Coach of the Italian National Rugby Team, fresh from one of the best Six Nations campaigns in history. A top-level player in his native Argentina and across Europe, particularly in France where he later became head coach, he took charge of the Italian national team in January 2024. Since then, his professionalism, technical expertise, strong humanity and undeniable leadership have helped initiate a journey of growth and a strong team identity, culminating in historic sporting results.
In the conversation with hosts Angelo Marino, Chief Brand & Communications Officer at Macron, and Carlton Myers, former basketball player and Olympic flag bearer, Gonzalo Quesada discussed several topics, particularly the value of rugby as a tool for both sporting and personal development. Rugby is portrayed as a discipline capable of creating a strong sense of belonging and sharing, where education and humility are essential to grow and achieve the goals set by a national team that represents an entire movement.
Macron is undoubtedly a leading brand in the world of rugby, with active partnerships with 3 of the 6 Six Nations teams (Italy, Scotland, Wales), with 7 of the 20 teams already qualified for the next World Cup in Australia, and with the most important governing bodies of the sport.
Campus Talks features conversations with leading figures from sport, culture, business and society. The editorial direction and technical production of the podcast are handled by Macron Media House, an in-house structure dedicated to content development and to supporting the brand’s communication and positioning. The episodes are recorded in the internal podcast studio at the Macron Campus, the company headquarters in the province of Bologna, which inspired the name of the project.
The new episode of Campus Talks featuring Gonzalo Quesada is available on Macron’s YouTube channel and on major audio streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
Previous guests on Campus Talks include Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron; Elisabetta Canalis; Alino Diamanti; Nicola Rizzoli; and Alessandra Neri.
