Arcieri dell’Elice Secure Major Wins at Piemonte Regional Archery Championship

The Arcieri dell’Elice have solidified their standing in the regional archery scene, delivering a powerhouse performance at the recent Campionato Regionale di tiro con l’arco. The Cuneo-based club secured multiple top honors, headlined by two regional titles, during the competition held at the Fitarco Piemonte headquarters in Cantalupa, Torino.

The event, organized by the Arcieri delle Alpi, served as a showcase for the club’s depth across various age groups and bow categories. The standout results underscore a period of significant growth for the society, its technical staff, and its athletes as they climb the ranks of Piemontese archery.

Regional Titles and Gold Medal Performances

The highlight of the weekend in Cantalupa was the acquisition of two regional championships. Gabriella Sasia dominated the “Arco Olimpico Master Femminile” category, delivering a splendid performance to secure the gold medal and the official title of regional champion.

Matching that success in the youth division, Aurora Maria Tosello claimed first place in the “Arco Olimpico Giovanissimi Femminile” category. The victory was particularly noteworthy as it marked Tosello’s first-ever regional championship, establishing her as a rising talent in the sport.

Podium Finishes and Category Standouts

Beyond the gold medals, the Arcieri dell’Elice demonstrated consistent quality across the board. In the “Arco Olimpico Allievi Maschile” category, Kevin Giordana earned a silver medal after a strong competition, while teammate Nicolò Parola also secured a high placement in the final standings.

The club also found success in the compound bow division. Leonardo Ramonda fought his way to a third-place finish in the “Arco Compound Allievi Maschile” category, adding another podium result to the team’s tally.

Other notable performances included:

• Arco Nudo Master Maschile: Flavio Paradiso and Remo Sfondrini both achieved strong positions in the rankings.
• Arco Olimpico Master Femminile: Caterina Melis recorded a positive placement following a competitive round.
• Arco Olimpico Senior Femminile: Paola Gioanetti put in a solid performance in her debut regional championship.

The “Arco Olimpico Senior Maschile” category saw a strong showing from first-time regional competitors. Enrico Tosello, Paolo Del Grande, Marco Musto, and Mattia De Maria were all recognized for their impressive debuts at this level of competition.

A Dominant Start to the 2026 Season

The success in Cantalupa is not an isolated event but rather a continuation of a hot streak that began in early January. The Arcieri dell’Elice entered 2026 with high momentum, securing multiple wins in two indoor 18-meter competitions.

During the “9° Trofeo della Befana” held in Priocca on January 3-4, the club saw a surge of victories. Leonardo Ramonda took first place in the Arco Compound Allievi Maschile, and Aurora Maria Tosello again secured the top spot in the Arco Olimpico Giovanissimi Femminile. Kevin Giordana also claimed gold in the Arco Olimpico Allievi Maschile, while Gabriella Sasia finished second in the Arco Olimpico Master Femminile.

In the team events at Priocca, Marco Musto, Enrico Tosello, and Mattia Demaria collaborated to earn a second-place finish in the Arco Olimpico Senior Maschile category. Individually, Musto placed third in the same category.

The club’s early-year success extended to San Bartolomeo al Mare on January 5 during the “Aspettando la Befana” youth indoor competition. Paola Giada captured first place in the Arco Nudo Junior Femminile, and Nicolò Parola secured second place in the Arco Olimpico Allievi Maschile.

Organizational Impact

The collective success of these athletes reflects the strategic commitment of the ASD Arcieri dell’Elice. By fielding competitive athletes across youth, senior, and master categories, the club has demonstrated a sustainable pipeline of talent.

For global readers unfamiliar with the structure, the regional championships in Italy are critical milestones that determine athlete rankings and eligibility for national-level events. The transition from indoor 18-meter “Trofeo” events in January to the regional championship in February indicates a disciplined progression in training and competition intensity.

The results from the Regional Championship in Cantalupa serve as a benchmark for the club’s technical capabilities heading into the remainder of the 2026 season.

With multiple athletes now holding regional titles and several others gaining crucial experience in their first major championships, the Arcieri dell’Elice are positioned as a primary force in the Piemontese archery circuit.

Archysport will continue to monitor the progress of these athletes as they move toward national qualifiers. Stay tuned for further updates on the 2026 archery season.
