ʺAs an Administration we are proud that such important teams have decided to participate - begins
Piervittorio Ciccaglioni, Councilor for Sport and Disability Manager of the Municipality of Alessandria – proving how the social and sporting fabric of the city is excellent. I also thank the IDEA Association, which highlights these
initiatives.Gianluca Marocco, from the Alessandria and Asti Volunteer Services Centre, then continued by stating how ʺour task is to highlight the very meaning of volunteering. Thanks to initiatives of this type, our work is also valued: for this we are happy.

"The worlds of sport and volunteering are increasingly interconnected, and the Federation intends to be a vital part of society, starting, " says Mario Robotti, FIP Delegate for the Province of Alessandria, " with the activities of children and young people. Sport is an important component of living together, even in high-level clubs ."

ʺWe wanted to lend a hand to Paolo and the IDEA Association by playing against Antibes – comments Giacomo
Carrera, DG of Junior Casale – that can give something new to the public. We think this is a good way to show solidarity.

Roberto Tava , president of Bertram Derthona, then took the floor, explaining that " we wanted to make the Cima Memorial coincide with the official Super Cup match against Turin. We are a team that has been profoundly revamped compared to last year and is made up of young players. It's almost a derby against Turin because we have coach Cavina back as an opponent and we have Ferencz Bartocci, who was the Turin team's general manager last year. I want to emphasize that the humanitarian nature must come first, because we want to lend a hand to Paolo Berta. It will also be a pleasant opportunity to see some friends . "

In closing, Paolo Berta, president of the IDEA Onlus Association, wanted to "thank everyone in attendance and Ernesto's family, who continue to trust the IDEA Association. I would also like to thank Roberto Tava, General Manager Ferencz Bartocci, and Derthona Basket, who decided to give us this gift. Casale didn't want to be outdone, and so we were able to double our commitment, working this summer to be ready to host such important matches ."
