In addition to indisputable volleyball qualities, he brought exemplary professionalism and silent leadership. And he helped take Belluno’s reality by the hand and accompany it into a dimension that, in the summer of 2021, was unexplored: Alessandro Graziani, for Da Rold Logistics, was not only an important athlete. It was a reference, within two unforgettable seasons.

Now, however, the time has come to say goodbye: Graziani and the DRL will take different paths. But the link between the hitter originally from Genoa and the club chaired by Sandro Da Rold will remain impossible to scratch.

To understand how much Alessandro managed to affect, with the rhinoceros shirt, it will be useful to roll out a few numbers: 52 games, 207 sets, 643 points, 63 aces, 40 blocks. He also scored the last point of the season: the winning service that sealed the victory against Med Store Tunit Macerata, the third force of the tournament, in a festively dressed Spes Arena.
