The Carlo Caldesi
Award for the Trophy of the Year (CCA) is an award instituted to
honor the best big game trophy, in terms of difficulity of hunt,
rarity and score, taken in one particular year by an active Member
of Safari Club International (S.C.I.). The CCA is named after
Dr. Carlo Caldesi, the only Italian to have achieved so far the
highest honors in international big game hunting: being the
recipient in 1981 of the "Westherby Hunting and Conservation
Award", in 1983 of the S.C.I. Hall of Fame Award and in 1987 of
the S.C.I. International Hunting Award. The Award itself will
be a silver and bronze sculpture made out of friendship by artist
Corrado Gambotti and given as a present by the Caldesi family every
year.
