If you cannot beat your enemy, make it a friend. The club signed Manuele Marchiani, who led Reggio Emilia in the knock-out of Civita Castellana in last season’s playoff quarter-finals. Among his main achievements, he won the A2 league title and the A2 Cup.  

“I am thrilled to join Civita Castellana – said setter Marchiani – They have been after me for years, they showed me so much love and now the wedding will finally occur! It’s been an easy decision: I’ve seen the excitement built around the club last season, how solid and well-organized it is, and they want to improve on last season’s results. Besides, I really believe in coach Spanakis, so all those components meant my choice was an obvious one”.
