He has two gold medals to his credit, both in basketball and both in 1991: at the Mediterranean Games in Thessaloniki and in the European Cadet Championship. In the team there were players of the caliber of Andrea Meneghin, Gregor Fucka and Sandro de Pol. But he was a federal councilor until 2004, founder of the Health and Anti-Doping Organizational Commission (with which the presence of defibrillators in sports facilities was arranged) and Provincial Delegate of the Sports Doctors Federation at CONI (which in turn awarded him with the Silver Star).
Paolo Patta , born in Sassari in 1956, sports doctor for the FIP national team sector, was awarded the Leonardo da Vinci Award , which the Italian Sports Medical Federation awards to those who distinguish themselves " for their commitment to the realization of federal goals" .
Today, Paolo Patta continues to work as a Medical Director Specialist in Sports Medicine demonstrating a constant commitment to the health and well-being of athletes . He is the head of the Cardiology and Sports Medicine clinic in the Marino Hospital of Alghero, a point of reference for many local clubs.
Today he returned to playing basketball, in the technical staff of the historic Pallacanestro Alghero , immediately obtaining important results with the Under 13 and Under 14 women's teams, which won the regional championship and in Perugia they achieved sixth national place, thanks to the difference in baskets with the very strong Costa Masnaga.
