Strong spiker Francesco Mattioli will keep wearing the red and white shirt of Santa Croce. Indeed, he extended his contract and will play his third season at the club. This si the fourth signing for the 2009-10 season following the ones of De Paula, Falaschi and Baldaccini.

“We are extremely satisfied to have renewed Mattioli – said sport director Pagliai – Francesco is 33 and will turn 34 next October. Physically he’s fine and can still help us a great deal”.
