In the splendid setting of the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno, packed with enthusiastic fans and a passionate crowd, the Del Monte® Coppa Italia Final Four opened with a breathtaking match between Itas Trentino and Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza. The Dolomites won with a comeback victory over Gas Sales, who failed to capitalize on a two-sets-to-one lead despite Bovolenta scoring 23 points, shooting 62% on offense, and blocking 13-4. Trento’s performances included Faure (24 points, 58%) and, especially, Flavio (10 points, 77%). Trento can also celebrate the return of Daniele Lavia, who came on twice during the match.
