In late July 2026, the third stage of the 12th Quadrangular “Andrea Bertolino” archery tournament in Casalgrande highlighted efforts to make the sport accessible to deaf athletes. Parents of a deaf competitor worked with the federation to adapt rules and promote sign‑language communication, resulting in the regional FITARCO committee assigning the club to host future meets. A week later, the XXXIX Trofeo San Lorenzo in San Bartolomeo al Mare marked the regional championship for 2026. Regional Minister Alessandro Piana attended, praising the event’s role in fostering social cohesion and local identity. The competition featured Olympic archer Chiara Rebagliati and underscored continued governmental and community support for archery across Italy. Together, the events illustrate a broader push in Italy to promote archery both as an inclusive sport for athletes with disabilities and as a vehicle for regional pride and development. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-02: Regional Minister Alessandro Piana Opens San Bartolomeo Archery Championship Alessandro Piana opened the San Bartolomeo archery championship, celebrating its 45th anniversary and featuring Olympic archer Chiara Rebagliati. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/regional-minister-alessandro-piana-opens-san-bartolomeo-archery-championship ### 2026-07-27: Casalgrande Archery Competition Promotes Inclusion for Deaf Athletes On 25 July, Casalgrande hosted the third stage of the 12th Quadrangular “Andrea Bertolino” archery tournament, featuring Vice Mayor Valeria Amarossi and highlighting efforts by Marcello Tazzola and Angela Padov 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/casalgrande-archery-competition-promotes-inclusion-for-deaf-athletes --- Cite as: Italian archery competitions and inclusion.
