Il Grand Prix, in the penultimate stage on 29 and 30 June, it was integrated by an emotionally touching race, on partridge without killing, incorporating the now historic Memorial named after Sergio Natalini, who for years guided the Provincial Section with professionalism and a great spirit of sacrifice Federcaccia of Macerata. Sergio was the Man President, a person respected and appreciated by all for his exceptional character qualities, a daring and wise altruist, who distinguished himself in society for his infinite availability.
He is remembered by all Hunters (but also by those who are not) and this honors their family members, who in the people of Lorenzo Zamparini, nephew of Sergio himself and the latter's son, Giovanni Natalini, with the contribution of the entire AFV board, managed to keep it "alive" among fans, organizing the Memorial in his name for the fourth time. During the event, many attended, attending the final award ceremony Regional and Local authorities: the Mayor of Serrapetrona, Dr. Silvia Pinzi, Dr. Daniele Sparvoli and Dr. Davide Anastasi, representing the Marche Region, Dr. Deborah Pantana representing the Province of Macerata, Dr. Andrea Innocenzi for the Police Headquarters of Macerata, the President of the Mountain Community of the Blue Mountains Giampiero Feliciotti, the President of Federcaccia Marche Region Paolo Antognoni and the Provincial Presidents Federcaccia Macerata and Ancona, Nazzareno Galassi and Ivo Amico.
Numerous competitors, more than eighty in competing dogs and extremely exciting the actions of the dogs themselves, surrounded by the wonderful landscape aspect of the Fauna Company. In the aforementioned Memorial a new Category is inserted, beyond those present in the previous stages, category "Faunistic Company Members", with the addition of which organizational staff, chaired by the energetic Sandro Palombarini, made us feel the full closeness to those who, with passion and sacrifice, contribute to the full achievement of the set objectives. At the end of the tests, judged flawlessly by the experts Pierangelo Pierini and Diego Corvatta, there are new entries in "Hunters" and "English" ranking and it is in this last category that a precocious dog lover stands out, the very young Daniele Moretti, who reaches the first position with his English Setter "Bandito".
