La Basia Via Slossaroli 1 25017 Lonato D/Garda (Brescia) Italy Phone: +39-030-9990200 Fax: +39-030-9990210 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.trapconcaverde.it Trap Concaverde is situated in the tourist Southern Garda Lake District, at a distance of 8km from Desenzano, 30km from downtown Brescia, 40km from Verona. Directions: Highway A4 Milano/Venezia, Exit: Desenzano. Turn to the right side and proceed for 5km then first exit on the right side (direction Castiglione D/Stiviere), you will immediately see the Shooting Club sign. At the round-about take the second right and drive straight for about 500m. The shooting range has 7 combined ranges for Trap/Double Trap/Skeet and 5 separate ranges for Trap/Double Trap. The shooting range is equipped with Mattarelli and Serena machines and Elfipa acoustic release system. All the ranges which will be used during the ISSF World Cup are equipped with Mattarelli machines. The Skeet ranges operate with acoustic release system.

Immigration and Customs Requirements Entry Visa Italy is a member of the European Union and Schengen Agreement. EU Nationals are able to enter Italy with a valid passport or with a valid ID Card. Countries that require an Entry Visa for Italy should apply to the Italian Embassy/Consulate in their Country well in advance before departure. Detailed information regarding Visa can be found in the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: www.esteri.it or vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en Those Federations who need a specific Invitation Letter to apply for a Sport Visa, must contact FITAV, Federazione Italiana Tiro a Volo, not later than 30 MARCH 2021

E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +39-06-4523 5212 / 5234 /5246 The Italian Shooting Federation has no influence on the Embassies and will only be able to provide invitations for the period of the ISSF World Cup and eventual pre-event training. No Visa will be granted upon arrival at the airport. Customs Formalities, Import of Firearms A max. of three (3) shotguns and 1.200 cartridges are allowed to enter in Italy. European Union nationals holding a “European Shotgun Certificate” can import to Italy their firearms without an auxiliary permission; however, they are requested to fill in the “Firearm and Ammunition Form” for Local Police security reasons. Upon receipt of the form duly filled in, the athletes travelling by plane will receive a nominative invitation letter to show the Police and Customs Authority together with the European Shotgun Certificate at arrival. To the Athletes not holding the European Firearm Certificate, the Organizing Committee soon after receiving the “Firearm and Ammunition Form” duly filled in, will send the FITAV permit to be shown the Police and Customs at arrival in Italy. All the athletes traveling by plane will have to fill in an additional double copy declaration on arrival at the Italian airport. (As complimentary the OC staff members will do it on their behalf). This form, together with the FITAV permit, at departure from Italy, must be returned to the Police Officers. The Security service for the delivery of firearms and ammunition in Italian Airports has changed. There is no longer an internal security service but each airline makes use of an external individual security company that provides the service on-call. In order not to delay the delivery of firearms and ammunition upon arrival, each participating Federation is recommended to book the flights, by declaring the shotguns in the reservation well in advance, to allow the airline to organize the transshipment service and delivery to the Police office in charge for the control of the weapons. The “Security Tax” is applied to departing weapons and the passenger is charged at discretion of the airline as only some carriers provide the service free of charge. The O.C. has no influence on the airlines in this regard. For immediate weapon recognition, in no case should the gun cases be protected or placed into another type of travel bag (canvas, plastic). Non-European Union citizens are also suggested to take with them a copy of their passport which will be handed to the Police station together with the other forms at arrival, in order to speed the procedure. Please DO NOT send any passport copy to the Organizing Committee. Police and Customs firearms formalities will take place upon arrival at the first airport on Italian National Territory and at the last one at departure.

The Organizing Committee will not be responsible with the Italian Police at the airport for any incorrect information provided by the NPC related to firearms and ammunition. This paragraph might be subject to amendments, any changes will be communicated immediately to all ISSF Member Federations. Any request to change the shotguns details after the deadline must be notified to the Organizing Committee until seven (7) days prior to arrival. Changes after that date will not be accepted. All the delegations will be assisted to dispatch the Police and Customs procedures and escorted to the bus. Travelers will meet the assistants near to the baggage collection upon arrival. In case of failure, contact the OC representative: Maria Teresa Imperatori +39-030-3452014 / +39-335-8218079. 8. Accommodation Official Hotels The Delegations will be accommodated at 3*** and 4**** star hotels situated at a distance of 7 to 9km from the Shooting Range. Luxury 5***** hotels will be booked only at request. The structure and size of the hotels in the Southern Garda Lake area is such that no single hotel or small number of hotels is able to supply the necessary number of rooms for accommodating all the participants of an important event such as the ISSF World Cup. Taking into consideration this limitation, the Organizing Committee has been compelled, as usual, to book more Hotels that are, in any case, comfortable and close to each other. All the official hotels are facilitated with free wi-fi connection. Rates are intended per room per night and include buffet breakfast, service and tax. The Tourist Tax is not included, according to the hotel category it amounts to Euro 1, 00 / 2, 00 per person per night. All the official hotels except DUNANT HOTEL and B&B CORTE DELLE ROSE are situated in Desenzano and Padenghe towns, in front or near the Garda Lake at a driving distance of 15 minutes to the Shooting Range. Dunant Hotel which differs in style from any others, is situated in the countryside of Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN) at the distance of 7,5km (10 minutes’ drive) to the Shooting Range, 16km to Desenzano downtown. The restaurant is with new management. B&B Corte delle Rose is a small family run B&B opened a few years ago. The restaurant right next door to the hotel located in the same property, is different running. B&B Corte delle Rose is situated on the way that from the shooting club goes to Castiglione; distance to the shooting range 4,5km, and to Desenzano downtown 11km. Given the location, these two hotels are more recommended for guests arriving by car or having a car (for leisure).
