Nello Greco honorary president of Farmitalia Saturnia. Here is the announcement that the company makes with great joy almost a month after the start of the season on the courts of Italian sports halls. The “Pulce dell’Etna”, who signed the silver medal at the 1978 Volleyball World Cup and who in the same year, with Paoletti Catania at PalaSpedini, won the Italian championship in the team of Mr. Pittera and again, in 1980, took part in the Moscow Olympics, has therefore decided to embrace the project of President Luigi Pulvirenti and the whole company, to bring Sicilian volleyball fans back to the stadiums.
“I am very happy to have accepted Pulvirenti’s proposal – says Greco. Last year I had already approached Saturnia by going to PalaCatania for matches and spending time with everyone during training in Ficarazzi. The vision and the way of acting of managers like the president and the general manager, Enzo Pulvirenti, gave me a great sense of confidence that finally a project can come out that will give back the great volleyball to the city of Catania “.
Words of affection for his former teammate, Mr. Waldo Kantor, but also for those managers with whom over the years they have created solid friendships, from Piero D’Angelo to Gaetano Caserta and Daniele Caniglia: “They are people who I respect and know well, we have a common history and this was the spark that made me get closer to the world of volleyball. What we played was a pure sport, we played for fun and we left an indelible memory in those who followed us “.
The former opposite of Paoletti has no doubts about the contribution he will be able to give to the team: “I have a full life and a beautiful family, I have little free time left and I try to dedicate it to projects that are worth spending on. I do not think as a manager, but as a player and I will make my support felt when necessary, especially if and when there will be hard moments in which the strength of the group is fundamental ”.
