Scandian Faces of illustrious figures from Scandiano history and quotes from their works. They are shown on the Scandiano basketball uniforms with the aim of making the link between sport and the territory and its artistic and cultural heritage in the broadest sense even more visible and concrete. To open the dance, it could only be him: Matteo Maria Boiardo with a quote from his most famous work “Orlando in Love”. «There is a profound connection between what we were and what we are today. With the new playing uniforms, Pallacanestro Scandiano gives life to a project that unites sport, identity and the artistic heritage of our territory – announced the sports club posting the preview images of the new uniform -. A journey that starts from Scandiano and its history, to tell it on the parquet.” «The first uniform is dedicated to Matteo Maria Boiardo, cultural symbol of our city, whose image accompanies a verse taken from Orlando Innamorato – he continues –: “And by singing I return to the memory of the exploits of times gone by, and to sing you the most beautiful story”».
The company also announces that this is a first stage which will be followed by others, with other faces and other quotes. Those of Boiardo, in fact, are «words that speak of memory, passion and deeds: the same values that we bring to the pitch every day. Because sport can also be storytelling, culture and belonging. And this is only the first story that we have decided to wear.” The first applause for the initiative comes from the local administration: «Illustrious Scandians on the t-shirts. What a magnificent idea!». «Congratulations to Pallacanestro Scandiano – they again comment from the Municipality -. Sport has the great honor of being a natural ambassador of the territory every time it leaves its borders. Pallacanestro Scandiano has decided to interpret this task in the most creative and intelligent way possible.” © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
