Sport is part of the tradition of Macerata, which in 2022 was the European City of Sport, and represents an effective vehicle for important messages for young people”. The President of Volleyball Macerata Gianluca Tittarelli then recounted the long journey made by the company, “It’s been almost 40 years of activity and sacrifices. We are proud of this journey and of having brought the Del Monte® Coppa Italia finals to Macerata, it is a great commitment and we are doing our best to ensure the success of the event. The other teams will arrive in the next few days, the hotels in the city will be full and Macerata will once again breathe the air of a great volleyball event. We will also be protagonists on the pitch with our team and it is important for the boys to play for the trophy in front of their own fans. I therefore join the Mayor’s invitation, we look forward to seeing you at the Banca Macerata Forum”.
