The season of the red and white giants can really begin. Applause and euphoria at 10pm yesterday, Monday 23 October, in a FermoForum packed in every row of seats for the official vernissage of the Cucine Lube Civitanova 2023/24, escorted by an exceptional totem, the high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberi. Making the night of the cooks memorable was the show of the eclectic Giorgio Panariello and the concert by Max Pezzali among the jubilation of those present.
A catwalk in style for the Italian vice-champions after the end of the work at the 2023 Company Meeting, ennobled by the engaging speech of Fabio Giulianelli, CEO of the Lube Group.
When the focus shifted to the red and white association, a Club capable of boasting 25 titles in 22 years with national and international triumphs, the icebreaker was the president Simona Sileoni who followed the common thread of the day. “Being Lube means continuing to work to improve”, a slogan that applies not only to the company, but to the entire large Lube family. A concept taken up by host Marco Moscatelli, who was able to impart the right rhythm to the parade of champions by introducing with the president the need to “raise the bar by an inch” in volleyball as in any other sporting discipline.
“It should be understood as the extra step to be faced in the new seasons – explained Simona Sileoni -. Every year we must try to raise the level of commitment and ability compared to the previous one. Success is not the result of chance, but of work and actions. Added to all this are the fans who, with their support, take us one step at a time.” After the parade of the entire team, the coach Chicco Blengini gave his contribution, speaking of the extra centimeter as the mental approach of those who experience “victory as a new starting point, without feeling satisfied for having reached a goal” . Words that struck the national and international customers of the Lube Group, the employees and the many fans in the room.
A high decibel roar as captain Luciano De Cecco entered the stage, followed by all his teammates in order of number. There was no shortage of funny performances like the one involving Gianmarco Tamberi and Ivan Zaytsev, friends even away from the spotlight, at ease in duetting with the microphone, pouring out anecdotes and inflaming the audience primed by the interventions of Marco Moscatelli.
