It is a homecoming for the class of ’98 born in Macerata, where he took his first steps in the world of volleyball. Raised in the Lube youth team, middle blocker Michele Orazi climbed the categories with the Appignano shirt and reached Serie C, before moving to Serie B by moving to Loreto. His debut in Serie A3 and his first experience away from the Marche came in the 2020/2021 season, when he played with Pineto; the following championship is called by Brescia in A2, while last year he was an opponent of Med Store Tunit in the White Group with the Bologna shirt. The centre-back’s season ended with a seventh place in the Regular Season and the exit in the first round of the Play-Off against Pineto.
However, this year Michele Orazi returns home, “For me it is a source of pride to be able to represent the colors of my city. After years spent traveling around Italy I am happy with this opportunity, everything was easy, the negotiation was quick and I can’t wait to play at the Banca Macerata Forum”. In addition to the family context, in the team you find a former teammate from when you played in Pineto, “Yes, I know Zornetta well, we lived the Pineto experience together, while as far as the rest of the team is concerned, they are all players I’ve met since opponents. It will be nice to meet again now. Even with coach Castellano we often challenged each other on the field, I’ve always heard good things about him and I have great esteem for his work both in terms of the volleyball he offers and for his attention to physical preparation “.
