Rachele Sangiuliano, former volleyball player, talks to the players of Sir Safety Perugia Volleyball, winners of the Scudetto, the World Club Championship, the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup 2024: Massimo Colaci, Simone Giannelli, Yuki Ishikawa, Oleh Plotnytsky, Roberto Russo, accompanied by coach Angelo Lorenzetti and president Gino Sirci. Since 2017, one team has been shining among the stars of Italian men's volleyball: it is Sir Susa Vim Perugia, a club that, starting twenty-three years ago from the C series, has climbed the ranks and the hierarchies until reaching a perfect season, 2023-24, which led it to victory in the four most important events in international volleyball: the Supercup, the World Cup for clubs in India, the Italian Cup and the Scudetto.
In eight seasons, its palmares features 14 titles: 2 Scudettos, 4 Italian Cups, 6 Super Cups and 2 Club World Cups. At the helm, a charismatic coach like Angelo Lorenzetti, capable of 'turning everything he touches into gold', as the people of Trento know well. Let us remember that there are four cities where Lorenzetti has led the team to win the tricolour: besides Trento, Modena, Piacenza and Perugia.
Sir Susa Vim Perugia's great journey towards success started from a 'black' season, that of 2022-2023, when the team missed all the most important appointments, such as the Coppa Italia, the Champions League and the Scudetto, even being excluded from the next edition of the European Cup. Then the rise to the stars, thanks to 'born to win' players like Massimo Colaci, Simone Giannelli, Yuki Ishikawa, Oleh Plotnytsky and Roberto Russo.
