There are those who live sport with their heads, those with their hearts, and those, like Aldo Martorano, who have had it within them their whole lives. A historic figure and the beating heart of Reggio Calabria volleyball and Domotek, Martorano has been a protagonist and witness to a three-year period that feels like a sporting miracle.
A steady rise, culminating in a perfect year, capable of delivering emotions that even he, accustomed to experiencing the PalaPentimele on the front lines, never expected.
Martorano doesn’t hide his emotion, trying to restrain his emotions with the awareness of his age: “On reflection, we’re no longer at the age to get so excited,” he admits with a sincere smile. But then the sentence dissolves, overwhelmed by enthusiasm: “But it was beautiful, wonderful, truly spectacular. A year like that is indescribable. Spectacular.”
“Three wonderful years: winning everything in one year is beyond words.” It’s hard to find adjectives that can describe what Domotek has achieved. From promotion to growth, to triumph in every competition. A journey that Martorano summarizes with a clear-eyed gaze: “Bringing all those people to the PalaPentimele… it was like going back to the good old days.”
