Pallacanestro Jesi: the Jesi team ready for the Serie B championship

News from a few hours ago: Pallacanestro Jesi, the new team with clear roots in Jesi, of which you are vice president, will play in the next series B championship. Massimo Stronati, did you know that many people were waiting for this news?

"Last October 8th, in the press conference announcing our participation in the Dr1 championship, I spoke of a project by Jesi for Jesi - said the Jesi manager - During the championship, given the assiduous and constant presence of many fans in a category that certainly does not meet the needs and traditions of our basketball and above all the conviction of an entire city that our project was and is in the name of sport and people, we went further. For Lupo Rossini, no introduction is needed, for Michele Paoletti, the experience gained in Serie A clubs speaks for itself. Me? Simply nostalgic for Aurora, for Polisportiva Aurora born in my neighborhood, the Prato neighborhood, from that unique genius who answers to the name of Don Roberto Vigo!". And now what happens?

"With Roseto 20 20 we have formalized the merger , we are waiting for the Federation's approval then we will register for the interregional B championship. We will play in Jesi, at the PalaTriccoli. Obviously there is a coach - we are evaluating some profiles - and a team to build. At the moment we are focused on the bureaucratic aspect of the merger. But with people like Lupo and Michele we can rest easy".

Too early to talk about goals?

"As soon as we have the feedback we will start working on the team, the communication and marketing campaign and to write other pages of our history". You were known for your entrepreneurial activities, you deserve credit for having successfully concluded the Amazon operation in Jesi, do you still live under escort?!?.

"Well yes, for more than two years and that is not a short time and it is not easy to live with limited freedom, a situation that requires great efforts in terms of rationality and patience. Even today it all seems absurd to me but unfortunately there have been threats as well as what has been done is tangible. The Amazon operation will bring enormous development and this is not acceptable to some for various reasons, obviously. I live and love this territory, I accept this state of affairs with difficulty and I suffer at the thought that something could happen to my family. For some time, and fortunately for me, I have been comforted by the discreet and constant presence of the Police Forces that I will never stop thanking".
