This is the Monza central Gianluca Galassi, included in the list of 14 athletes who will take part in the second stage of the VNL 2022, set in the Philippines, in Quezon City, from 19 to 27 June (the group will see the Azzurri facing Germany, Japan, Slovenia and China), and of the free man of the first men’s team of the Monza reality, Filippo Federici, who will work in Cavalese, with eleven other athletes, from 16 to 23 June, for a collegiate in preparation for the next commitments on the calendar.
