Bertram Derthona's Nova Arena is becoming a point of aggregation and reference for many people. This is fundamental. We are the only team currently in Italy to have a sports hall of our own. The pride of owner Beniamino Gavio for an investment of over 50 million euros. His jewel, the Nova Arena, the 5,000-seat sports hall, will host the Italian Basketball Supercup next September. With Tortona back in the spotlight. Like this season: Coppa Italia finalist, fifth in the league, and a strong exit from the playoffs, in the quarterfinals against Venezia. A season to remember for another one yet to be written. Starting from a confirmation, that of coach Mario Fioretti on the bench. He faces a new challenge again of a biennial nature, so time to put together another beautiful team. It will depend on the entry or not into the EuroCup, the second most important competition after the Euroleague. Almost a certainty. While the fate of basketball in Turin remains uncertain, with the concrete risk of losing its A2 title and the city of the glorious Auxilium remaining without basketball. The hope is that our capital, which has also been the place where in recent years the Final Eight has made all the Piedmontese live a week of great basketball, can continue what remains a great basketball tradition.
