Bergamo 2018

The sixtieth edition of Purebred Arabians in Bergamo took place in the framework of the Bergamo Fair from August 31st to September 2nd 2018. As an A.N.I.C.A. and E.C.A.H.O. affiliated morphology contest, this year it made the great leap forward to the B International category, thus entering the rich calendar of events of the Sant’Alessandro Fair. The stage of the show was the regional festival of animal husbandry, agriculture, equitation and typical local food products. About 50,000 visitors were present at the Fair with 250 registered horses and 200 exhibitors. It was with a great deal of sympathy that both the public audience and the breeders participated in the event for years now organized by Scanzi Faustino, President of Ente PromoBerg. Followed with great attention from the attendants, the operations of a jury of articulated international provenance composed of four judges: Eberhardt Sylvie (Germany); Paakkonen Pekka (Sweden); Rota Pierluigi (Italy) and (Poland). As Disciplinary Commissioners: Manerba Alberto (Italy) and Zanchi Manuel (Italy). Pre-ring manager: Soresini Giancarlo (Italy); Ring-master: Bonomi Mario Alessandro (Italy); General secretary: Pacchiana Greta (Italy); Official photographers: Azzali Alessio (Italy) and Petix Paola (Italy). The organized machinery of Bergamo worked very well. Local authorities, the parterre of the Fair and A.N.I.C.A. worked in perfect synergy with one common goal: to create an event that becomes etched in people’s mind and of all those who breed and promote the beauty and the great qualities of the Arabian horse; as well an event that could demonstrate that Purebred Arabians in Bergamo had it all for the international category advancement. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the outcome of these two fantastic days. Congratulations to the organizers and the winners and see you all next year. The final results of the Championships are given below.
