A special lunch with the media at Villa Malaspina (the sponsor of the club), was the perfect occasion to unveil new spiker Francesco De Marchi.

“I want to improve my numbers this year – said De Marchi – This is the most important season of my career for me. This year I have been in the Italian National team. The season in Padova ended with relegation but I was personally satisfied with the way I played in my first season in the division”.
