The letter ‘P’ as in Promoted, or Potenza Picena, or Pier Paolo Partenio. The latter had a superb run in the playoffs and received a standing ovation on Friday night as the team was warmly welcomed by the fans in Douhet square. ‘Three P’ is now enjoying a short rest as he will soon start training with the Italian National team to prepare the European Championships in Baku.

“A lot of people have asked me about my future – said Pier Paolo Partenio – Some think they know where I’m going having heard the names of a few Serie A teams. But to tell the truth, I have been fully focused on the league and the playoffs until just a few days ago and I had not thought about it yet. I didn’t even want to talk to anyone about it. To be honest, I hope I will stay and play in the SuperLega with Potenza”.
