Thirty competitors, 120 auxiliaries on the ground, six days of dog tests and checks and then the final: the Wallochia he prepares to listen to the music of the hare played by the strongest hounds in the area. The municipal section of Federcaccia Spoleto, in collaboration with Federcaccia Umbra and the management committee of the dog training area for following hare in Vallocchia, presents the trophy "Angelo Cecconi" and second memorial "Floriano Fede", amateur dog race on hare without killing reserved for packs consisting of four auxiliaries. As per tradition, to host the entire event will be the splendid estate managed by Egisto Fede, which extends for 20 hectares between groves and clearings. It starts on Saturday 12 May and goes on until 2 June, when the last of the scheduled dog tests will close. The following day, Sunday 3 June, the final will take place, which will be accessed by the best wetsuits qualified during the preliminary checks. The second “Floriano Fede” memorial will go to the pack that will have obtained the best score during the final, while the “Angelo Cecconi” trophy will be awarded to the best subject of the event.
The final day will be attended by top-level hunting managers and some protagonists of the national following dog lovers. Last year, for example, the dog lover Angela Ripamonti from Milan, a true personality in the circle of hounders, and world champion on hare, attended the last day. Ripamonti, not a new guest at the “Cecconi”, particularly appreciates the Egisto Fede estate from a technical point of view, which with its 20 varied hectares manages to reproduce a small natural habitat, perfectly suited to the hare species.
