A key confirmation: in the tactical arena. And in the project. Enrico Basso will represent Belluno Volley in the 2026-2027 season. For the twenty-five-year-old from Padua, it will be his third consecutive championship in the shadow of the Dolomites: a significant milestone in his brilliant career, especially considering he’s never stayed so long with the same club.
A FIXED POINT – The former Pineto, San Donà, and Motta di Livenza player is now a key player for the Rhinos. Suffice it to say that in two seasons in Serie A3 Credem Banca, he’s made 60 appearances and scored 361 points, proving himself a valuable asset thanks to his physicality, his ability to block, and a powerful serve. “Belluno is a great place to be, both on and off the court,” explains the middle blocker. “The club is committed to providing the best possible conditions for its players, and when they asked me to renew my contract, I gladly accepted.”
NO REGRETS – In the recent history of the white-and-blues, Basso has carved out an increasingly prominent role for himself. Among the performances that best demonstrate his value, the one he delivered in the first leg of the playoff semifinals in San Giustino stands out: a performance that yielded 16 points overall, highlighted by six blocks. Looking back, the middle blocker prefers to focus on the value of the journey accomplished: “I have no particular regrets, although it’s a shame to have lost the Coppa Italia semifinal and the playoff final two years in a row. However, I’m heartened by the fact that we’ve always managed to reach the top.”
EXTENSIVE SEMIFINAL – And when it comes to choosing the most significant moment in his career with the Rhinos, the answer is immediate: “The victory in the Golden Set against ErmGroup Altotevere. It was probably the longest, most intense, and most exhausting match of my career.” His personal assessment also included a thought for Stefano Giannotti: “Having an athlete like him by my side was very important. I consider him a high-performance player and an example.”
