Coppa Italia Final Four 2023: Itas Trentino moves to Rome on Thursday

Operation "Del Monte® Coppa Italia Final Four 2023" officially kicks off for Itas Trentino on Thursday, 23 February. At around 11.30 in the morning, after a weight room session at the BLM Group Arena, the yellow-blue will leave by coach for Rome, a destination to be reached in the early evening.
In the late afternoon of the following day, Friday 24 February, the yellow-blue will undergo the training session on the eve of the match at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, a venue in which Trentino Volley will set foot just over eleven years after the last occasion (19 February 2012, Coppa Italia final won against Macerata in the tie break). Being the number three seed in the draw, the yellow-blue will train in the mega facility in Emilia at one of the most convenient times: Angelo Lorenzetti will conduct a technical-tactical session lasting approximately ninety minutes between 5.30 and 7 p.m., following Gas Sales Bluenergy and Sir Safety in order. The squad for the 16th Coppa Italia Final Four in the history of the via Trener club will consist of the entire squad of fourteen players and the technical, medical and management staff.
The Eternal City evokes only splendid memories for the via Trener club, which not only won one of the three victories in the men's competition currently in its trophy cabinet at the PalaEur, but also won its second Scudetto (in 2011, thanks to a 3-0 win over Cuneo on 15 May). Moreover, Trentino Volley also boasts a particularly pleasant statistical tradition: taking into account matches played against local teams (Roma Volley first, then M. Roma Volley), under the Cupolone it has so far only ever won: 10 matches and 10 victories. The first time was exactly twenty-two years before Saturday's semifinal: on 25 February 2001, in fact, the then Itas Gruppo Diatec Trentino played at the Palazzetto in Viale Tiziano in the match against Ford for the Bambino Gesù, winning 3-1; that match was the first ever played in the capital and was particularly important because thanks also to those three points the yellow-blue later obtained confirmation in the top division in their debut season.
