Ahead of the Gala D’Oro “Pathos” – directed by Antonio Giarola – is the award ceremony by M.A.S.A.F – Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forests – which aimed to honor some of the most influential figures who have each contributed, in their own way, to the Italian equestrian world.
The spirit of women and men who have represented the values of excellence and equestrian tradition, and who have skillfully highlighted the cultural and sporting role of equestrian disciplines.
Minister Lollobrigida and President Bricolo kicked off the ceremony by presenting the award to Michela Crecco, owner alongside her family of Scuderia Aleali, one of the leading names in Italian horseracing. She, along with her team, has demonstrated how passion, commitment, and the guidance of great masters can lead to success.
Also contributing was Roberta Giarrusso, the new face of Italian horseracing and the exceptional godmother of all the stages of the Palio delle Regioni, who succeeded in engaging the large audience with her unparalleled communication skills.
The director of Forbes Italia, Alessandro Mauro Rossi, was awarded for his ability to combine his passion for horseracing with his leadership of one of the leading publications in international economics and finance. Last, but certainly not least, was knight Guido Grimaldi, honored for demonstrating remarkable ambition, tenacity, and spirit of sacrifice, while transmitting his passion to his children, who will be the riders of tomorrow.
