Codyeco Physiotherapist world champ

Emma Villas Codyeco Lupi Siena physiotherapist Francesco Alfatti is world champion for the second time. He won the world title with the Italian men’s national volleyball team, a remarkable sporting achievement that replicates the one he achieved with the Azzurri in 2022. He now has two world championship gold medals to his name as a professional. “It was a fantastic, very emotional experience,” says Alfatti. “We weren’t expecting it; confirming our performance at this level was anything but a given. After the match against Argentina, things changed a bit, but in the final matches, the team was practically perfect and played top-notch volleyball. The summer went by very quickly; it’s not easy being available 24/7, but obviously it’s a pleasure and an honor to represent the Italian national team. The group was fantastic; the only major disappointment was Daniele Lavia’s injury.”
