In taking references on Maurizio, the thing that pleased me most is that his former coaches and teammates have exalted his qualities as a team player and a very determined charismatic leadership in the locker room. It is not easy for anyone to have collected so many unanimous consents in such a long career”.
These are the words of coach Federico Campanella: “It is with great pleasure that I meet Maurizio again after the years in Cecina. After him he evolved, he won, he touched the A2 and made his beautiful journey. We are talking about a high-level player, who makes defense and the 3-point shot his trademarks, in addition to having immense moral and fighting qualities”.
These are the words of Maurizio Del Testa: “I think playing for Pielle is the dream of every basketball player and for this reason it has always been an ambition of mine.
