For Rana Verona, chasing their first major victory, this will be their second consecutive final after last year’s 3-2 loss to Civitanova; Trento, meanwhile, is chasing a national ribbon that has been missing from their trophy cabinet for 13 years (the last victory was at the Forum di Assago against the then Lube Macerata). Tomorrow’s final will be an unprecedented one, as the two teams have never met in the final round of the tournament.
