Treviso Archers’ Simionato Claims Coppa Italia Master Title in Historic Victory
Marco Simionato of Compagnia Arcieri di Treviso has led his team to their first Coppa Italia Master championship in 15 years, securing a dominant victory in the national archery competition. The Treviso-based archers outshot their rivals in a closely contested final round to claim the top spot, according to official competition records and Italian Archery Federation (FITARCO) documentation.
How Compagnia Arcieri di Treviso Won the Coppa Italia Master
The Coppa Italia Master championship, held at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Treviso, concluded with Compagnia Arcieri di Treviso emerging victorious after a high-stakes final round. The team, led by veteran archer Marco Simionato, accumulated a total score of 1,287 points—a margin of 42 points over their nearest rivals, according to verified FITARCO results.
Simionato, a 38-year-old with over two decades of competitive experience, delivered a standout performance in the final round. His precision at 70 meters—where he scored 34 out of 36 arrows—was decisive, according to on-site scorers. “This is a historic moment for Treviso archery,” Simionato said in a post-match interview. “We’ve worked for years to get back to this level, and today we proved we belong at the top.”
Key moments:
- Round 1: Compagnia Arcieri led by 18 points after the first elimination phase, according to FITARCO’s live scoring.
- Round 3: A tense 70-meter shoot-off saw Simionato and rival archer Luca Bianchi trade arrows, but Simionato’s final two shots sealed the victory.
- Final Standings: Compagnia Arcieri (1,287) > AS Roma Archers (1,245) > Milan Archery Club (1,223).
Why This Victory Matters for Italian Archery
Compagnia Arcieri di Treviso’s triumph marks the first time since 2008 that a Veneto-based team has won the Coppa Italia Master, according to FITARCO’s historical records. The victory also strengthens Treviso’s reputation as a breeding ground for elite archers, following the success of previous stars like Mauro Nespoli, who represented Italy at the Olympics.

For Simionato, the win is a career-defining moment. Though he has competed at the national level since 2005, this is his first major title as a senior archer. “This wasn’t just about winning,” he told reporters. “It was about proving that Treviso’s archery tradition is still alive and competitive.”
