Maremma hounds: Sergio Leonardi premieres his volume “Knowing the Maremma hound” at Mondo Caccia, a journey to discover stories and traditions that have an absolute protagonist in the dog.
Saturday 22 November, from 16.00, as part of World Hunt held at CarraraFiere until Sunday 23 November, Sergio Leonardi, a well-known author of books on hunting and in particular on the Maremma hound, will be present in the Federcaccia stand to present a preview of his latest work, a book that already says that in the title which is the main argument: "Get to know the Maremma hound”But which then, in the course of the narration, makes us understand how hunting is made not only of game bags, but above all of impressions, tales, popular traditions today more than ever but also of smells, silences and noises of nature.
“Il Hound as Sergio tells it, he is the protagonist of all this - anticipates Carlo Romanelli who will present the event - also because it has its origin and natural habitat in that territory with an ephemeral consistency of borders, between Lazio and Tuscany, home of great hunters, intrepid dogs and countless brigands. In this beautiful volume, hunting regains its true dimension as an element of rural society, as a privileged relationship with nature and while the pages go by, the reader is led to experience the beauty of the places and the relationship between dog and hunter with the imagination. ".
A book therefore not only of good advice for a skilled trainer but also to dream and live a different relationship with nature, a book to read all in one breath and then review it, word by word, with the same gaze with which one perceives the dense, impenetrable and mysterious spot in which the whole, the dominant color and then the various shades are captured.
