MULTIMEDIA UPDATE: Paralympic Basketball: a new season begins for Volpi Rosse Menarini
FLORENCE, Italy, Oct. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Heart, passion, and the determination to overcome challenges. The Volpi Rosse Menarini are once again setting their sights on the hoop as they make their grand entrance at the prestigious Palazzo Vecchio. The wheelchair basketball team from the Tuscan capital is ready to start the National Serie A FIPIC (Italian Wheelchair Basketball Federation) Championship with renewed ambition. Founded in 2005 as the first wheelchair basketball team in Tuscany, Wheelchair Sport Florence is the kind of organisation where the integration of people with disabilities revolves around doing things together and setting an example with the passion, talent, and determination that its athletes exhibit in every game they play. Menarini, as the title sponsor, has been alongside this association since 2011. “These athletes making it to Serie A represent what it means to exceed one’s perceived limits,” stated Valeria Speroni Cardi, Menarini’s Communications Director. The pharmaceutical multinational has always been closely connected to the world of sports, as confirmed by its support for another wheelchair basketball team, Club Joventut Badalona, competing in the Spanish Serie A.
