In the summer of 1966, Libertas moved to the new Pallacanestro Garbini. Augusto Garbini, as mentioned, a well-known entrepreneur in road transport, is sponsor and president. In the company there is also his daughter Anna, who will succeed her father as president, accompanying the Viterbo basketball towards excellent results, also committing a good part of personal assets.
Several generations of players have paraded with the shirt of that Garbini, who still have a pleasant gasp when they are involved to remember those times. Like, for example, Eni Rotellini, who points out that “fifty years have passed and the memories are so personal and subjective that I think they can hardly be interesting today. Talking about training at Porta Fiorentina in the current parking lot, who would understand them? Training in the evening, from 19.30 to 21.30 outdoors, all year round, with the winters of that time, without hot water for the shower, not being able to use the suit so as not to consume it, having only one pair of shoes supplied per year, to save.
We left at dawn on Sunday to go and play in Umbria and Marche, which were the regions assigned to us. For only two years we were placed in the group together with Sardinia, in place of Umbria, and we played one match on Saturday in Cagliari and one on Sunday in Sassari, and vice versa. The reason was always the same, the economic one. “
