Genova announced its first signing for the 2011-12 season with the arrival of Marco Rizzo. Born in 1990, the libero played last season in A2 with Gela and will be part of Italy’s Under 23 selection this summer.

“First of all, I want to thank Gela which allowed me to get where I am today – said Marco Rizzo – I am so excited to come to Genova, people have only good things to say about the club, and they have great ambitions”.
