Dazzling spectacle in the sky at Piazza di Siena 2018

The Italian air force display team, Frecce Tricolori (Tricolour Arrows), will exhibit at the Piazza di Siena during the CSIO taking place in Rome.
It was announced by FISE President, Marco di Paola, during the FISE Awards gala held in Rome on Monday evening, as he thanked the air force for their initiative. 
The famous aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare will fly over the area of the Villa Borghese in Rome on Friday April 25th for the first time since the equestrian event has been held.
In the day of the most-awaited Nations Cup class, the colours of the Italian flag painted in the sky will underline the international importance of the event through an exhibition which is considered Italy’s pride.
It will also be different from the classical airshow display over the Altare della Patria which usually takes place on June 2nd, the day of the celebration for the founding of the Italian Republic.
A further reason for all the fans to be in Rome and enjoy both the show on the course and the one in the sky.
THE FIRST THREE NAMES OF THE AZZURRI COMING FROM THE ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
The upcoming weekend will see the kick-off of the 2018 Italian Champisonhips at the Arezzo Equestrian Centre.
The podium will say the names of the first three Azzurri qualified for the Piazza di Siena CSIO in Rome. The Italian riders will be 18 in total: 5 in the first team and 13 competing for the individual titles. Among these three Under 25 youngsters are included.
FISE coach Duccio Bartalucci has already been monitoring for a long time the performances of the Azzurri pairs in the international competitions, both abroad and in the Tuscany Tour.
He said: “The Italian competition which we mainly focused on was the CSI4* Grand Prix that took place last Sunday to close the Tuscany Tour. A 1,60mt show jumping event which was won by Bruno Chimirri. The Italian Championships in Arezzo will follow a reduced format of 2 days’ competition: on Friday 13th a Table C against the clock and on Saturday 14 a two-round category. The three medalists will secure their partecipation to Rome’s CSIO“.
