Marco Benvenuti, president of Libertas Livorno and Ladies Libertas Livorno, has died at the age of 50.

A Family Legacy in Tuscany

Residing in the United States, Benvenuti was the son of Roberto Benvenuti, who served as mayor of Livorno from 1985 to 1992.

He led both basketball clubs, with senior teams competing in Serie A2 men’s and Serie A1 women’s competitions.

An Official Farewell from the Club

«Eri, sei e resterai un sognatore.

The organization praised his steadfast leadership through difficult organizational periods, noting his resilience:

«Con il tuo esempio ci hai insegnato a crederci sempre, a non arrenderci mai. A non farlo neanche nei momenti più complicati in cui la strada meno impervia sarebbe stata quella di mollare tutto.»

«Ci hai indicato il cammino da fare. Tutti insieme. Con lo stesso amore di un padre di famiglia ci hai preso per mano. Hai preso nelle tue mani grandi la nostra, la tua Libertas. E l’hai trasformata in una macchina perfetta: motore, la passione; inesauribile carburante, il grande cuore amaranto.»

Dedicated to His Memory

«I nostri successi avranno sempre una dedica speciale. Le nostre sconfitte avranno una motivazione in più per spingerci a migliorare. Ciao Marco. E Grazie. Solo la gioia di aver percorso un significativo tratto della vita insieme a te riesce a lenire il nostro infinito dolore.»
