The Balestrieri Company of Pisa organizes, in collaboration with the Opera della Primaziale Pisana and under the patronage of Regione Toscana, Provincia di Pisa, Comune di Pisa and Associazione Amici del Gioco del Ponte, the 'IV Trofeo Umberto Moschini': Tournament of crossbow held to remember the Cav.

The Cav. Umberto Moschini also contributed to the birth of L.I.T.A.B. (Italian League Shooting Crossbow) where he held the role of President and received the high honor of the Honorary Presidency.
