Latina added yet another piece of the jigsaw for the coming season with the signing of Stefano Patriarca. The 25-year-old middle blocker, who is well-known for his fighting spirit, had an excellent season in Verona. He will be in the Italian national team in the World League, to start on June 26.

“I am delighted to come to Latina, a club on the way up – said Stefano – The league semi-final means we’ll be in the Cev Cup and it was a dream of mine to take part in a European Cup”.
