Never a win in Emilia Romagna. Since hitting the Serie A3 floors, Belluno Volley has not yet managed to achieve a positive result in an area where volleyball is almost a religion.

Since the 2021-2022 year, with losses in Bologna, Geetit leads (after five hard-fought sets), and in Portomaggiore, in the penultimate round on the calendar (3-1). Last championship, however, here were the missteps in Mirandola (Stadium had interrupted the rhinos’ unbeaten run on the fourth day of the first round), Bologna (dry 3-0) and Parma (3-1), four turns from the finish line banner. Finally, and this is recent history, the defeat in three sets at the Pala Simoncelli in Mirandola on January 14th.

Six away games in Emilia, six stops. In short, there is a taboo to break. A spell to break. And the rhinos will try to do it on Sunday 4 February (4pm), in Salsomaggiore Terme, in the den of a WiMore who occupies the last place in the ranking with 7 points under her belt. But he has no intention of backing down. Suffice it to say that, no later than two weeks ago, he took a set (the first) from the leaders Gabbiano Mantova. And six days ago he gave Volleyball Motta a hard time. It is now almost superfluous to reiterate it: never take anything for granted in a championship marked by unpredictability.
