About Val Matteotti Italian Open
Now in its 29th year, the Val Matteotti Italian Open was inspired by a unique idea…an appreciation for Italian food, a love for golf, and a belief in the importance of giving back to healthcare in our community. Named after prominent philanthropists Val and Flora Matteotti, the event is known as one of the most distinguished and one-of-a-kind golf tournaments offered in Southern Alberta. To date, it has raised over $1.7 million for the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation, supporting state-of-the-art equipment purchases, special projects and programs.
