The race was held according to the rules contained in the federal regulation of Italian Hunting Championship - “S. Uberto ”edition 2021.
The test was carried out on pheasants and the land used is located in the Municipality of Avigliano Umbro, in the province of Terni, in a hilly area, at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level, sufficiently large and with spontaneous vegetation consisting of dry grass of the right height homogeneously spread and interrupted by brambles, junipers, brooms and bushes of plant species typical of the area.
The competitors competed in a single category: there were a total of n. 37; on the competition field n. 33 participants divided into three batteries.
At the end of the competition, the competitors, the organizers and the managers moved to the Castle of Sismano, one of the historical places, perfectly restored, most fascinating of the area which since the early Middle Ages was considered one of the many fortresses guarding the city of Todi; equipped with a fortified fortress.
In 1607, at the candle auction, the Florentine merchant Bartolommeo Corsini bought the fiefdom of Sismano for 97.000 scudi, which is still owned today by an heir of the same family.
Under the Corsinis, who restored what was left of the medieval castle by building a new wing in a purely seventeenth-century style, the fiefdom of Sismano became above all a large farm where, until the early 60s, there were 32 farmhouses and had been inhabited for over 600 people who, for the most part, were linked to the farm by working relationships.
In this enchanting place the award ceremony was set up with the image of the beloved Ivo on a leash with two of his favorite dogs on a leash and a significant written comment.
At the award ceremony, in addition to Ivo's daughter Ms. Anuska Angeli and her family, the highest authorities of the Federcaccia were present:
the National President Massimo Buconi, the Regional Vice President Giulio Piccioni, the Regional Secretary Giampiero Morosi, the President of the National Sports Commission Aldo Pompetti, the members of the National Sports Commission Alberto Dandolo, Alessandro Barbino, Luigi Chiappetta.
Short but significant interventions by Chiappetta, Piccioni and Pompetti, who recalled some episodes of life and sporting commitment shared with Ivo, drawing from them a teaching and a testimony of generous commitment to spread, especially among the younger generations, the passion for hunting in general and for competitive dog lovers in particular.
The testimony of the daughter Anushka, in reality the loud continuation of an intimate dialogue never interrupted, has created an atmosphere of intense and participatory emotion: "I believe that this event, now in its fourth edition, is an example that the memory can be stronger and more go beyond so many difficulties and distances and this feeling is clearly expressed in the writing that stands out on the banner: "The memory of a friendship with a person goes beyond his presence ..."
President Buconi's conclusion highlighted the complexity of the problems, in the field of hunting, currently on the table and the urgent need to respond firmly and with serious and engaging proposals to the prejudicial antagonisms that do not cease to threaten the future of hunting. "We want to work to implement projects in our field based on science and on these to build broad alliances inside and outside the hunting world, also by strengthening our daily action with the teaching that we can draw from our history, always remembering that" a people without memory is a people without a future ": and Ivo is the cornerstone of our memory."
