Word to Nicola Ciolini, CEO of Estra: «We will shortly discuss with the new ownership. Ready to stay in Pistoia beyond 2026″
The upcoming playoffs will be, as was the case for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup, a very important showcase for the Pistoia Basketball and consequently also for Extract, which has been the Title Sponsor of the red and white club since last summer. The leading company throughout Central Italy for the sale of electricity and gas, in the words of its CEO Nicola Cioliniexpresses all his satisfaction for the sporting results achieved in this extraordinary year by the team coached by coach Nicola Brienzanext to face Germani Brescia in the quarter-finals.
«This year’s results were particularly exciting and this allowed us to have great visibility at a national level. I am referring for example to the victories against Milan and Bologna. Like Estra we passionately followed the progress of Pistoia Basket from the stands of PalaCarrara. Interest in the team is constantly on the rise, as also demonstrated by some illustrious presences in via Fermi, such as that of the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, on the occasion of the match against Varese”. Not just the name of Pistoia: that of the whole of Tuscany also travels around Italy thanks to Della Rosa and his companions. «We entered into this project because we knew that Pistoia Basket was a reference at a regional level, as the only Tuscan team present in Serie A1».

And what if the red and whites decide to take part in a European competition in the coming seasons? «We would be very happy, obviously. By return post – continues Ciolini – I will meet the new ownership, who I have already had the opportunity to get to know in recent weeks, and we will understand together what the plans are for future years. We are linked to Pistoia Basket until 2026, but if there were growth prospects, then there would be an objective on our part to continue this marriage for several seasons. We certainly wouldn’t back down.” In short, the intention is to build a bright tomorrow together with the red and white club. «Ron Rowan And Steven Satin They seemed like two people with very clear ideas. In these weeks there will be an opportunity to meet and make all the necessary assessments. We approach ourselves with a constructive spirit.”
