“I started playing volleyball a bit late at 15 – explained young Ricci, who was at Conselice di Ravenna with which he played against Brolo in the B1 Cup Final Four last year – But I am still in time to do well. I came up in Roma’s youth ranks where I stayed four years. We won the Serie D at just 16 years of age, and then I won the Under 18 league with Trapani in Sicily. I therefore have great memories from this region. I also heard that there was a great atmosphere in Brolo and I love heated atmospheres”.
