The Rome bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics is an ongoing attempt to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city of Rome.
The city hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics and expressed an interest in bidding for 2024. A bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics was canceled in 2012, when the Italian government withdrew its support from the bid on the eve of the delivery of the application files, stating that it would not be a responsible use of money in "Italy's current condition."[1] However on 15 December 2014, the prime minister Matteo Renzi confirmed that Rome would be bidding for the 2024 Olympics.[2]
On 10 February 2015, the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) confirmed that former Ferrari President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo would lead Rome's bid as President of the Organising Committee. The 67-year-old Montezemolo led the local organizing committee for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.
