“I wanted to hang up my boots this summer to start working in the building industry – said Luca Calderan as he was unveiled with Casarin as new Verona players at the Bernstein centre – Then Verona called, I had the possibility to improve alongside Meoni, It did not take me long to accept”.

“Each day I get on court to realise my dream: play at the highest level of Italian volleyball – said Casarin who was born in 1991 – I was called by Verona while I was studying for my A-Levels, I immediately said yes. Everybody knows this is the ideal club for the young players”.
