Another ace to complete a top level poker: Alessia Mazzaro closes the central department of Igor Volley, after the confirmation of Sara Bonifacio and the additions – in chronological order – of Federica Squarcini and Maja Aleksic. Born in 1998, Mazzaro made his debut among the “big players” in 2016 with the Monza shirt in the A2 championship, obtaining promotion to A1; then two years in Filottrano, with an A2 Italian Cup won in 2017 and the second promotion to A1 obtained, a season in Scandicci and a four-year period in Chieri, during which he won a Wevza Cup, a Challenge Cup and won the senior national team with which he won gold at the 2021 European Championship and the 2022 Mediterranean Games. Again with the national team, but in the Under 18s, he won the 2015 World Championship.
«I am enthusiastic and excited about what awaits me – said Mazzaro – Novara has put together an excellent group of talented girls and I expect a very high level of training and a highly competitive team. I am happy and curious to find out how much we will be able to grow in the hands of a coach who I have had the opportunity to know and who has my respect. I don’t deny that Lorenzo Bernardi’s presence on the bench was important for my choice to wear the blue shirt, I’m sure he will have a lot to pass on to us. In Novara I will have the double fortune of playing in a top club and of being close enough to my family, who will therefore be able to follow me more easily than in recent years. Goals? I will work every day to grow and take advantage of the space I manage to carve out for myself to demonstrate my value.”
