2024 edition
The 2024 edition of the Federal Structure saw members of the entire Italian Shooting Federation travel from all over the Peninsula towards the capital with the specific purpose of taking part in the great event that is the celebration of the Federal Structure. So great was the enthusiasm to participate that when the gates of the Tav Roma facility in the capital opened, a small queue of cars had already formed, made up of all those who couldn't wait to take part in the Federation's celebrations. A splendid late October sun illuminated and framed the magnificent day that passed in harmony and lightheartedness, seasoned with good food, music and convivial moments. However, it would not have been a real celebration without friendly competitions between those who, as a rule, watch the competitions from behind the scenes to ensure the best functioning of each competition. At the end of the day, the awards ceremony brought the main protagonists of the now customary end-of-season event to the podium of the capital facility.

The words of Luciano Rossi
“I want to thank everyone who came here to Tav Roma today from all over the Peninsula to celebrate with us” commented the Federal President Luciano Rossi, the greatest exponent of Italian and World Clay Shooting, who then continued: “This day is the only day of the year in which those who for 364 days are committed to ensuring the functioning of the complex federal machine take some time for themselves. This competitive season ended with great successes obtained by our athletes on an international level, thanks to which the name of Italy is synonymous with excellence in Clay Shooting circles throughout the world. Today's celebrations are dedicated entirely to those who made all this possible and deserve all our appreciation. I am also pleased that this year the participation in the Federal Structure has recorded significantly higher numbers compared to last year's edition, a clear sign of the trust and friendship that you have given us this year” (source: FITAV).
