Umberto Picariello is back at Atriplada 8 years after his departure. The 24-year-old spiker came up in Atripalda before being bought by Perugia when he was 16. So far, Picariello gathered experience in the lower B2 and C divisions.

“The moment has come for me to see what I can do at the next level and understand what is my real potential – said Picariello – Playing in the Serie A with the shirt of my home town is an unbelievable emotion. I know coach Totire likes to work with young players, I am already working to be ready when the first training session will come”.
