A commitment that involved, together with the company, two other entities, which have always been on the front line for children and the community. On the one hand the Pietro Pittini Foundation and on the other the Parish of Valmaurawith which Pallacanestro Trieste collaborated on a daily basis, thanks also to the great availability and empathy of its players, who were the first to want to be ambassadors of these values.
