Applause, chants, and the many umbrellas were not a problem, on the contrary. Over 500 fans turned out in Piazza Duomo in Trento this afternoon, Tuesday 7 May, to welcome the European champions. Soli’s team is fresh from the Champions League won on Sunday in Turkey with a resounding 3-0 against Jastrzebski Wegel.
The city center has become a welcoming space almost exactly one year after the previous occasion: the scudetto.
All the protagonists of the splendid continental parade just completed took to the stage set up for the occasion. The public absolutely spared no effort to sing chants or indulge in authentic roars and applause: the best way to put the seal on a great sporting year, the twenty-fourth overall for Trentino Volley. And after the ritual thanks from the local institutions (city and provincial) there was space for autographs, selfies and hugs, with Laurenzano improvising as the lead singer for his teammates and fans. Tomorrow, Wednesday morning 8 May, the first official reception by the institutions: at 12 in the Sala Depero of the Palazzo della Provincia.
