WAIT The attention of the Derthona world is particularly focused, not only because of the chronological imminence, on the challenge of tomorrow at 18: 30 against the three-time reigning Italian Champions. The day of Wednesday 4 September The opening – for the first time since its construction – of the facility pitch will remain in its own way in the history of the Lions club Sports Citadel “Pietro and Marcellino Gavio” di Tortona for a basketball game has created great anticipation among Tortona fans and beyond since it was announced.
