The one between Fedrizzi and Grottazzolina, we can say, is a true act of love: the Trentino spiker will remain on the banks of the Tenna until 2027, by virtue of a two-year renewal that marks, with the season still underway, the first step for Yuasa Battery towards the future but also a strong bond that is not only made of the field and only of technique. But let’s rewind for a moment the tape of what, to all intents and purposes, is a fairy tale within a fairy tale, a story to be told. Michele Fedrizzi in May 2023 is in Vibo Valentia, which closes its triumphant season with a historic triplete in A2, made up of promotion to the Superleague, Coppa Italia and Supercup of the category. Finally, one might say, a circle that closes, for a boy who has always been accustomed to the high level but who, due to strange twists of fate, has remained away from the Superleague for too long. But no, because Vibo Valentia gives up the Superleague. The beginning of a nightmare? No, the beginning of a fairy tale.

In fact, Grottazzolina’s offer arrives for him, waiting for him in a market that does not wait, at the risk of being left holding the baby but with the declared goal of being able to insert into the team not just any spiker, but Michele Fedrizzi.
