Banca Centropadana takes to the field with Derthona Basket
The new partnership between Banca Centropadana and Derthona Basket was presented at a press conference last night, which will bring the credit institution's brand among the supporters of the Juventus club. The meeting, which was also attended by coach Demis Cavina and Juventus winger Giampaolo Ricci, was opened by the director of the Banca Centropadana branch in Tortona, Dr. Carlo Mangiarotti: “We are very pleased to combine the name of a company that has always been linked to the territory such as Banca Centropadana with the company that bears the name of our city around Italy with ever-growing success and enthusiasm, responding “present ” to the invitation of president Roberto Tava to take to the field to help a local reality in its journey into the upper echelons of national basketball. Our hope is to contribute to a further season full of successes and satisfactions, and to be able to create a collaboration with the entrepreneurial fabric of Tortona in these months, developing commercial relationships born in the sporting field."
Thus the president Roberto Tava: "I am happy and proud to support the top executives of Banca Centropadana and to announce an agreement that I particularly care about, because the events of the last few months have made us understand that we speak the same language and have common objectives, such as that of taking root in the territory and aiming to be the flagship of Tortona and the Tortona area in their respective fields. This relationship was born and developed in a particular moment, when we took to the field personally to ask for a contribution from the city, with the promise of being able to best invest the resources available. Step by step, we managed to include around a hundred supporters and partners, an impressive number for an overall small reality like Tortona and the Tortona area, demonstrating that our work and the way of understanding sport is shared and appreciated by our fellow citizens and those who come into contact with our organization. In a historical period in which the concept of "local bank" has been fading away, in the wake of the numerous mergers we have witnessed, the choice of Banca Centropadana gratifies us and makes us proud, bringing back the concept of connection with the territory . We will do our best to repay the investment made.”
So Dr. Serafino Bassanetti, president of Banca Centropadana: “I got to know the reality of Derthona in small steps, after the first presentation by our area manager Giampiero Rossi, and I am deeply impressed by the way in which this reality has developed, up to the hundred supporters . I found a united and serene environment, in which there is a contagious positivity. Sport is the most ideal and spontaneous thing there is, and it is for this reason that I believe it is necessary and proper to work hard to support it. Our localism is a choice to be defended and carried forward and the partnership with Derthona is perfectly in line with this company policy."
The sports councilor Vittoria Colacino closed the meeting: “I am very happy to see a local bank taking the field for Derthona, supporting a club that brings prestige to our city and stimulates young people to approach basketball and sport in general. I am very happy with this gesture, for which I thank Banca Centropadana on behalf of the administration and all the citizens of Tortona".
On the sidelines of the event it was announced that Banca Centropadana has set up a special current account for all season ticket holders, members and parents of athletes "I support Derthona!" and favorable conditions for mortgages and personal loans.
