Renzo Ulivieri, former football manager and current number one ofItalian Coaching Association, gave an interesting interview to Confederation of Tuscan Hunters. The former coach of Bologna and Parma spoke of his passion for the environment and the forest, while that for hunting was passed on to him by his uncle, great lark hunter and phenomenal whistler. His favorite activity, on the other hand, has always been that of a shed, carried out with the utmost respect for environmental rules.
The long career in the world of football has not always allowed him to combining sport and hunting, even if Monday has always been his day off and dedicated to ars venandi. According to Ulivieri, today's hunting has changed a lot, as society has also changed. The rural roots are on the verge of extinction, as is the peasant world. For the president of the AIA there is no longer the habit of frequenting the territory, therefore hunting could only be affected.
The change, then, has translated into a lesser approach of young people to hunting, given that there are also fewer spaces. Ulivieri pointed the finger at legislation that tends to bureaucratise the business, leaving aside the promotion of an important form of culture. The Tuscan model, in particular, is in crisis and there is a risk of management paralysis. Finally, the philosophy of saving at all costs has caused the loss of the connection with the territory.
