The friendly face of giant Renato Orsini will be among coach Lanci’s players this year again. He came up in Ortona’s youth ranks and when in 2012-13 the team was promoted in the Serie A2, it was a dream come true, for him like for the rest of the players, fans and people in the city.

“This will be another exciting season – he said – I am happy to stay here again because this is my second home. Hopefully we’ll have a nice group ready to fight on court to get some victories. Ortona is the ideal place to play, it’s a great club and there are fantastic supporters”.
