Giulio Gazzotti is a new Leo

Bertram Yachts Derthona and Giulio Gazzotti together for the next two seasons. The Club announces that it has reached an agreement with the athlete from Bologna, who last season wore the tank tops of Vanoli Cremona and APU OWW Udine.

CAREER – Born in Bologna on 23 September 1991, Gazzotti completed his entire youth career at Virtus Bologna, winning the Under 17 Scudetto in 2008 and the Under 19 Scudetto in 2010. He also made his first team debut with the Vu Nere squad. In the 2010/11 season he moved to Ozzano, in A Dilettanti, a team with which he scored 7.4 points per game in 26 minutes of average use.

He played the following season in Latina, a team that competed in the National Division A championship, where he increased his averages, closing the year at 8.1 points per game and then reaching the promotion playoffs, in which he scored 8 points per outing in the three matches played. He started the following year with the Lucca team, again in the National Division A, before moving to Ferrara where he finished the season.

In 2013/14 he returned to Virtus Bologna, in Serie A, appearing on the pitch in four matches over the course of the year. In 2014/15 he played in Cremona, again in Serie A, scoring 2.1 points per game, while the following year he wore the Pesaro jersey, averaging 3.8.

He remained in the Marche also in the 2016/17 season before returning to Vanoli Cremona, a team where he remained until December 2019, also winning the 2019 Italian Cup in Florence.

In December 2019, Giulio returns to Serie A2 Old Wild West by signing with APU OWW Udine, a team playing in the East Group of the tournament. In the ten matches played with the black and white jersey, Gazzotti recorded 5.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game showing a good hand in three-point shooting (35% on 1.7 attempts per game). Now he comes to Bertram Yachts Derthona to start a new chapter in his career.

ʺWe are happy that Giulio has decided to continue his career at Derthona Basket. We believe so – the words of Marco Picchi, CEO of Bertram Yachts Derthona – a versatile player, capable of opening the field with shots from outside, and who also boasts important experience in the Serie A championship. Gazzotti will be an important player on the roster who will play the next championship with our shirtʺ.
