It is located in the sports area of via Ciro Bisi and is dedicated to the memory of the champion of the Los Angeles Lakers and his daughter
CASTELNUOVO RANGONE (Modena) – The new public basketball court inaugurated in Castelnuovo Rangone in the external area of the Polyvalent in via Ciro Bisi bears the name of Kobe and Gianna Bryant. A space open to all, which is part of a wider redevelopment of the area. Paving and fencing of the field, but also public lighting and new cameras for video surveillance. An investment of 106 thousand euros in total, also financed with 72 thousand euros of regional funds. The tribute to Kobe and Gianna Bryant, through the naming of the new basketball court in Castelnuovo Rangone, is both memory and message. I remember for the champion of the Los Angeles Lakers and for his daughter, who tragically disappeared on January 26, 2020 in the crash of their helicopter, but also a message for young people: an invitation to tackle sports with the same passion and dedication that Kobe – grew up also in nearby Reggio Emilia at the time when dad Joe wore the Reggiana Basketball tank top – he was able to put in basketball
