Tradition, passion, enthusiasm, and deep competence: this, and much more than this, is the nature of volleyball in Modena.
In fact, volleyball, under the “Ghirlandina”, has deep roots in the social, cultural and sport environment.
Modena is volleyball’s most representative city in Italy: its beginnings go back far in the past, and at the start of each season new emotions and new protagonists emerge to add another chapter to this history.
The first “gialloblu” successes arrived in the years from 1953 to 1956, with three Italian Championships won by the Minelli Modena Team of coach Leonelli- Stars of that team were players such as Olivo Barbieri, Vezzani, Vaccari, Adani, Elio Morandi and many others.
1956 was the turn of Crocetta Modena, which had arrived second the year before, to become Italian Champion, whereas in 1957 the final success was of the Avia Pervia team coached by Anderlini, starring Federzoni, Guidetti A., Buzzega, Mazzi, the Zanettis as main players. These were also the years of the derbies for the championship with the Ciam Villa D’Oro squad of Vignoli, Barone, Bevini, Bonaccini, Braglia, Bortolamasi.
Avia Pervia won the Championship in 1959, 1960, 1962 and 1963, but it was defeated by Ciam Villa D’Oro in 1958 and 1961.
1966 saw the birth of the “Gruppo Sportivo Panini”, when the world-wide famous figurines producer company decided to sponsor some sport activities of the city, and among these volleyball.
The brothers Benito and Giuseppe Panini’s passion, combined with the skills and competences of Prof. Franco Anderlini, brought totally “modenese” club from the Serie C to the top levels of Italian volleyball.
The first Panini Championship is dated 1969/70, with the team of Barone, Buzzega, Giovenzana, Montorsi, Moranti, Musil, Nannini, Sibani, Guidotti and Marchesini coached by Franco Anderlini.
It was the birth of the “Great Panini”, a real myth destined to become a legend in the world of volley.
Other three championships arrived in 1972, 1974, and 1976 and then the four consecutive ones of 1986-1989 under the guide of Julio Velasco, and with world-famous players such as Bernardi, Bertoli, Cantagalli, Dall’Olio, Dametto, Ghiretti, Lucchetta, Sacchetti, Martinez, Quiroga, De Giorgi, Vullo and others.
In 1993 another turn of the tide happened in Modena, with Giovanni Vandelli inheriting the Panini Group and constituting the Daytona Volley. It has signed the beginning of more than a decade of successes both in Italy as well as in Europe, with the teams coached by Daniele Bagnoli at first (1995 and 1997 Italian Champions) and Angelo Lorenzetti later (2002).
These have been the years of the rivalry with Treviso, marked by players such as Vullo and Cantagalli, Cuminetti and Bas Van de Goor, Bracci, Giani and Sartoretti, Pippi, Gardini, Iakovlev, Ball, Bovolenta, Kazakov and many others.
Today, another chapter has begun in the history of the “gialloblu” volleyball. A chapter under the sign of Pallavolo Modena, Barone, Grani and Peia.
Let the game begins…
