Loreto brings in another player. After the outside hitter from Holland, Kay Van Dijk, chairman Serenelli welcomes middleblocker Alessandro Paoli. The latter had a good season last year, helping Bologna to stay up in the A2. Alessandro scored a massive 216 points and finished top of the chart in blocks made with 83.

“He is definitely an excellent player despite an atipical height for a middleblocker – said Luca Moretti – He is still young with a lot to learn technically but he has great qualities which allow him to play at a very high level, especially at the net”.
