Players like Marco Izzo and Luca Spirito have been excellent setters for Molfetta, but the club once again went for a talented and experienced one with Giulio Mariella. Born in 1995, his main task will be to try to learn as much as possible from the strong Cuban, Hierrezuelo. Mariella came up in Foggia but it’s in Castellana, together with Molfetta’s other newcomer Spadavecchia, that he made his mark. He won the B1 division with Castellana before learning the game at the level above. Finally, last season, he was back in the D1 division with Cinquefrondi.
