This year the event was held at the LuxExpo The Box in Luxembourg, bringing together over 250 industry professionals who attended conferences and talks covering innovation and industry trends, sustainable procurement, safety technology, fleet connectivity, and much more.
For Safo Group, it was a valuable opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with other industry experts.
Rome, May 24, 2025 – A day of sunshine, sport, and remembrance set the scene for the seventh edition of the Valfranco Fortuni Memorial, the prestigious golf tournament that gathers enthusiasts and professionals each year in a spirit of healthy competition and deep humanity.
As the official sponsor, SAFO had the honor of supporting an event that goes far beyond a simple sports competition — it is a true moment of connection and sharing, in memory of a figure who left a lasting impact on the world of SAFO and beyond.
A tournament to celebrate passion and remembrance
Held at the refined Golf Club Parco de’ Medici in Rome, the Memorial welcomed over 100 players, competing across 18 holes in the stableford format, divided into six categories. The technical and inspiring course tested focus, precision, and teamwork.
But more than the final score, what made the event truly special was the spirit in which it was lived: one of friendship, respect, and a stylish tribute to the memory of Valfranco Fortuni.
SAFO, a valuable presence

We believe that events like this represent the best side of doing business: being present, supporting the local community, and helping to create value beyond the purely corporate dimension.
Our dedicated booth for the occasion served as a meeting point — a place for dialogue and curiosity among participants, many of whom expressed interest in our services related to fleet management, traffic violation handling, and fleet outsourcing activities.
A day to remember
At the end of the competition, the awards ceremony honored the winners of each category amid smiles, applause, and celebratory toasts, while the spirit of the Memorial — made of elegance, sports passion, and authentic remembrance — was strongly felt across the greens.
SAFO is proud to have been part of this special day and extends its gratitude to the organizers, participants, and everyone who helped make the 7th Valfranco Fortuni Memorial an unforgettable event.

As the word itself says, the Fleet Management and a formula of vehicle management and, in general, the company fleet. More and more Fleet Managers rely on Fleet Management services to better manage their fleet, for example by delegating the management of administrative practices or authority processes. The keyword is outsourcing.
Relying on an external company for fleet management allows you to avoid organizational problems and logistics, in addition to the massive use of human resources that a “home-made” management would entail. Managing carefree cars and focus on your core business, after all, these are the two objectives fundamental questions that every company must answer. On average a long-term rental car receives 1 to 2 fines per year. This means that a large fleet generates thousands of administrative acts. The value of the administrative sanction (usually between 100 and 120 euro), if not managed, doubles and this is added to the costs for subsequent notifications. So It is easy to find yourself paying €300 a fine if you do not have an effective fines.
Safo comes to your aid
Safo Group is one of the main companies in Italy managing fines, handling 7 million worldwide (3 million in Italy). SAFO GROUP uses precision, speed and efficiency to keep the problem of fines under control. As our Partner & Managing Director, Massimo Carosini explains, “A bad management in the first phase of notification generates litigation. This should always be avoided, paying immediately or providing the useful data in time expected”.
In order to do this, it is necessary that the person who has to pay the fine – that is, the company driver driving the vehicle that has committed the infringement – be quickly identified and be able to pay in the most simple as possible.
How to do this?
To understand this, it is useful to understand how the notification process works. Generally, fines come to the the owner of the vehicle, that is to say the renter (whether short or long term). Sometimes some Administrations use the transcription made (as required by Article 94) for locate the lessee of the rental contract to send in first notice the penalty. But it is a minority situation in relation to the overall volume of fines, which most often reach the lessor. This, of course, does not mean that it is up to the lessor, namely the charterer, to pay the fines, such as explains Article 196 of the Road Code. The renter identifies who is the underwriter of the contract rents and communicates the tenant’s details to the authorities (all notifications take place via Pec), which at that point notify the person concerned of the fine.
The first step is to avoid litigation and allow the lessee to pay within 5 days from when it is notified the sanction, so that you can save 30% of the amount. In addition, how to give the Is it possible for the driver in question to pay? Does the company advance and then charge the fine in an envelope? What if the driver wanted to appeal? And again, if the driver who took the fine no longer worked in the company? Then the administration should start looking for the former employee, or the company pays the fine to avoid the risk of late payment.
