Class, talent, and technique are three words that naturally come to mind when describing Daniele Lavia. The Calabrian outside hitter is undoubtedly one of the most skilled players of the last decade, gifted with a rare ability to handle the ball—whether attacking, blocking, or receiving—at a level few in the world can match.
Together with Michieletto and Sbertoli, he forms the core of the Trentino Volley locker room. He joined the club quietly in 2021 and has since grown into a key figure both on and off the court, thanks to his technical prowess and his strong personal qualities.
In his first four seasons wearing the yellow-blue jersey, he earned admiration not only for his play but also for the empathy and connection he built with teammates and fans—traits that make him an essential figure within the team.
As his career in Trento progressed—where he won four major trophies—so did his journey with the national team, where he achieved great success, including appearances at two Olympic Games and victories at both the World and European Championships.
But when you say ‘Lavia’, you almost automatically say ‘Michieletto’—like a rhyme—considering how many matches the two have played together as a pair, both for Itas Trentino and for Italy.
