Orange1 Rally, the rally division of Orange1 Racing, Campedelli’s long-term partner, is underlining its concrete commitment to sustainability by supporting the Piantando organisation’s Silva Project.
Developed in Abruzzo in the municipality of Tollo, in the Valle del Foro, this, according to Orange1 Rally, is “an area identified as at risk of hydrogeological instability by the Ministry of the Environment, which is now the focus of a forest regeneration project”.
An Orange1 Rally communication read: “Silva’s objective is the ecological restoration of land abandoned or damaged by years of intensive agriculture. Through active reforestation, balance, life and biodiversity are restored to ecosystems that have been put to the test.

“For this event, Orange1 Rally pledges to adopt 100 adult trees, a concrete symbol of the desire to compensate for the CO2 emissions produced during the Rally di Roma Capitale super special stage. The contribution is not just limited to planting, but brings direct environmental and social benefits, including improvement of the soil, regulation of water resources, restoration of local biodiversity, involvement and awareness-raising of local communities”.
To highlight Orange1 Rally’s Natures Drives Us initiative, the Škoda Fabia Rally2 Evo piloted by Campedelli and co-driven by Tania Canton will carry a special livery “designed to visually portray the message of sustainability that we want to carry throughout each stage.
“The two sides of the car represent two faces of the same reality: on one side, melting glaciers. A clear and direct reminder of the visible effects of climate change. On the other, a lush green forest, a symbol of rebirth and hope, inspired by the project we are running in collaboration with Piantando. On the roof of the car, the two worlds meet: the skies of the landscapes on the two opposite sides of the car merge into one, a clear, serene, pollution-free sky. It is the horizon we aspire to, the one we want to race towards.

“Simone will wear a blue racesuit, in reference to the side of the car that represents the melting glaciers; Tania will wear a green racesuit that recalls the wooded side of the car. This livery best represents our commitment, reminding us that rallying and motorsport can also be witnesses of messages of responsibility”.
Orange1’s Nature Drives Us initiative follows the Orange1 For Women campaign launched ahead of last season’s Rally di Roma Capitale, which shone a spotlight on female empowerment.
Rally di Roma Capitale hosts round five of the 2025 ERC season from 4 – 6 July.
