Alessandro Acuti, middle blocker born in 2000, 198 centimeters tall, is a new player of Emma Villas Siena. Born in Bolzano and after completing his career in the youth sector in Trento, Acuti spent the last two years in Motta di Livenza where he was also a teammate of Stefano Trillini, who he now finds again in Siena.
