Since before the outbreak of the pandemic, Montecatini Terme had not experienced two days of basketball like the one we just had. For years the theater of the Serie B Final Four, this time the spa city saw the first trophy of the season awarded in the highest amateur categories of Italian basketball, the LNP Super Cup, hosting fans from all over the country, from Treviglio to Trapani, from Verona to Ruvo di Puglia, for a total of over three thousand appearances between semi-finals and finals. “Mayor Luca Baroncini said he was enthusiastic about hosting the event and we are thrilled to be able to return to Montecatini – says LNP president Francesco Maiorana – It is important that the important centers of Italian basketball regain familiarity with basketball at high levels, also by hosting events like these that, even if they are pre-season, everyone wants to win.”
And the 1,200 Livornese who pushed Caffè Toscano Pielle to a historic goal certainly wanted to win with all their strength: in fact, never before had a basketball team from Livorno raised a trophy to the sky, a fast that lasted 76 years which the blue and whites broke right at Montecatini, beating Tecnoswitch Ruvo di Puglia 88-78. The Livorno triumph has a particularly bitter taste for the other spa franchise, the Fabo Herons Montecatini, because somewhere in the stands rejoicing for the historic Piellino success there was also Marco Romei, the perpetrator of the attack on Adrian Chiera during the match on September 13th at PalaMacchia. A circumstance that should make the leaders of the League reflect. The defeat (83-67) in the final of the Serie A2 Super Cup of the Mascio Treviglio Group of sporting director Luca Infante, until last year the starting center of Gema Montecatini, also falls squarely on the former team’s unfortunate day. The Trapani Sharks are rejoicing.
