“It’s an intense period for the U19 team – said Giulio Salvioli who’s in charge of the youth department – They are not only involved in the B2 playoffs with the quarter-finals return leg against Bologna tonight, but also in the Junior League from Thursday. Given the many injuries, we added two young boys born in 1998 in the group: middle blocker from Lecce Alberto Marra and Outside hitter Lorenzo Baraldi”.
