Rovigo Fiere promotes the second edition of the “Hunting and Fishing Fair” in collaboration with the Provincial Department of Hunting, Fishing and Faunal Resources, the Fish District as well as the participation of local trade associations.
A precious opportunity for the general public of hunting and fishing enthusiasts, for the reference associations, for companies in the hunting and fishing sector: it is Fishing and Hunting at the Fair, a great event promoted by the Province of Rovigo which takes place at Rovigo Fiere on 16, 17 and 18 March.
A paradise above all for enthusiasts: the exhibition area will be full of news and top products in the field of equipment, weapons, accessories, instruments and articles for hunting and fishing. Associations and companies will have the opportunity to present the best of their products and all those who practice hunting and fishing will be able, in addition to visiting stands and information spaces, to participate in organized events.
In fact, there will be performances, demonstrations, competitions, conferences, exhibitions, with the involvement of the associations of the province of Rovigo; noteworthy is the Conference on aquatic avifauna in the Po Delta and the presentation of the book published by Veneto Agriculture The wild ducks of the Po Delta. An initiative that finds its ideal context in this province, if we think that the Polesine is one of the Italian areas with the greatest fauna diversity, thanks to the presence of the two main Italian rivers - the Adige and the Po - and their mouths.
We remember that the Po Delta is a wetland of international importance and one of the most important natural parks in Italy, a true wildlife paradise made up of pockets, lagoons, fishing valleys, nature reserves, protected areas, expanses of wild and uncontaminated nature where a very rich fauna finds its natural habitat.
The two main forms of local hunting are that of sedentary game and that of migratory game. The sedentary hunt is mainly aimed at the Hare, with the Hound, and at the Galliformes, with pointing dogs; prey coveted by local hunters are the Pheasant and the Gray Partridge, a prized lowland partridge.
The pride of the Polesan hunting tradition is, however, the hunting of water birds, thanks to the presence in the Delta del of a magnificent aquatic fauna, consisting mainly of wild ducks, waders and coots. By far the most numerous species is the Wigeon, but the Mallard and the Teal (Sarsègna) are also very widespread.
But Pesca e Caccia in Fiera is not an event reserved only for those who practice hunting and fishing, but an event dedicated to Polesine, so rich in natural beauty, traditions, culture. Through hunting and fishing activities it is in fact inevitable to talk about this land, its waters, its Delta, its natural environments, its traditions, also thanks to the presence of local companies, agricultural, agritourism and trade associations.
One way to get to know this extraordinary heritage up close is to participate in Hunting and Fishing in the Fair from 16 to 18 March: we point out Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 March, the performance of hen (imitators of birdsong), the exhibition of dog breeds for hunting use, the free trials of silhouette shooting with compressed air rifles, target shooting and volley.
