“Bovo Day”
A day to remember Vigor Bovolenta
June the 1st will be a special day, a day to remember a friend and a great champion that passed away far too soon. A day to remember how important was Vigor Bovolenta in the world of volleyball. It will all take place in Piacenza’s PalaBanca which reopens its doors after the league final lost against Trento. This year, the event will go hand in hand with “Life Project” (www.progetto-vita.eu). All in all, a great day of sport and solidarity.
Hristo Zlatanov (Captain Copra Elior Piacenza): “I will take part in this event as a friend of Bovo. I can only thank everyone for the organization of the event and why it was realized: cardio protect the city of Piacenza and give a little support to Federica. I am proud to be part of this project”.
