In 1926, the buildings of an old brick kiln at the foot of the Farnesina Mountains were adapted to serve as a riding school; and thus the Società Ippica Romana was founded, better known as “la Farnesina”—the oldest riding school in Rome and one of the first in Italy.
And it is precisely there, in the stables and on the La Farnesina fields that the legends of national equitation have been born, and formed a clear pride of our country.
It is on the fields of that ancient furnace that the two sons of Carlo Costante D’Inzeo, Piero of 11 years old and Raymond of 9, took their first steps in equitation under the strict guidance of their father, who, in 1945, joined the Roman horse riding schools and founded the SIR Roman Horse Racing Society, which combined the best of equestrian of that time.
The greatest names in Italian horse racing and an extraordinary mix of talents have grown in this place. They have characterized it profoundly and have made Italy great in this sport – from the legendary and unequaled Brothers Piero and Raimondo d’Inzeo passing through Graziano Mancinelli and Adriano Capuzzo, Alberto Riario Sforza, Giulia Serventi, until the most recent Olympic champion Stefano Brecciaroli, just to mention some of them.
It is on this historical force, on the passion and determination that have driven the great riders of the past. We want to found the basis for a new, ambitious and solid sporting project that is able to become a key to reviving the Italian riding school in the world, to make it a center of excellence and talent, inspired by the key values of that special relationship that have always linked man to his horse: commitment, respect, professionalism and ethics: Features that lead to the creation of winning binomials.
