FENCING CAMPS
Formia 2020
The most difficult of all Camps... a Camp during the COVID pandemic! First week dedicated to under 14s with very low partecipation. Partecipation and numbers and very high technical level are maintained for the week dedicated to cadets, juniors and seniors. We cross our fingers that everything will work out. The CPO, as always, guarantees us the utmost seriousness and the tranquility of safety protocols managed directly by "Sport e Salute" (formerly CONI). Awareness is locked to it's maximum and, whenever possible, distances and safety protocols will be respected at 360 degrees, hoping that the whole world, wether fencing or not, will as soon as possible overcome and recover from this delicate and difficult moment. We are there, doing anything we can!
Formia 2019
Maestro Carmine's Camp is definetely among the top level camps of the old continent. The numbers are starting to be dazzling and waiting lists are created for the frightening number of requests. It is no longer possible to satisfy everybody and many remain excluded. This is sad news for the face of a movement that works and holds the ground in a competitive country like Italy. Unfortunately due to personal reasons, Maestro Filippo Lombardo leaves the work group and will no longer participate in Maestro Carmine's Camps. On the other hand, foreign athletes ask for the opportunity to apply for participation in Maestro Carmine's Camp and it is becoming a global summit. To cope with further increase in participation and technical level, Maestro Carmine calls other friends, coaches of the highest level: Maestro Giacomo Falcini and Maestro Daniele Pantoni (technical support for Italy's Olympic teams since over twenty years).
