Born in 1983 in Ancona, Cristian Vigilante, made his debut as a starter in the Serie A1 last Sunday against Trentino. Called upon to substitute the injured Van Dijk, he scored 14 points, of which one ace and a block.

“A 3-0 defeat is never good – the outside hitter said – but we did everything we could. Trento is a great team and that’s no big news but our performance was encouraging for the next few games. I was proud to get on court, face a team like Trentino, and wear the Loreto shirt”. Next is Perugia “We are determined to get some points there. They are strong and we respect them but it would time the others respect us too”.
