Born in 1994, 197cm tall, Simmaco Tartaglione is Castellana Grotte’s first signing for the new season. The spiker who came up in Macerata arrives on loan. He made his debut in the SuperLega with Macerata in 2012-13, played for Corigliano, and was one of the main protagonists in Potenza Picena’s Serie A2 league title last season with 423 points scored in 33 games (12.8 per game).

“I am extremely excited with this new challenge – said Tartaglione – I have always liked this club, they have a very professional organization. I already know Vincenzo Fanizza given that we were opponents in the youth championships. I can’t wait to get started, I love new challenges”.
