That the Leghorn's basketball is in crisis is obvious to all. The last episode we had this summer when the only top team that had remained in Leghorn, the Women Basketball Leghorn, is demoted from series A1 to series A2 has decided not to participate in that league to shared by a number even lower, the "Serie B Eccellenza" female. Fortunately, however, there is good news for the whole movement "Labronico" basketball. A female basketball player in the formation of Leghorn, Nene Dienes (the black player in this picture), won the title of European champion with the Italian under 18 by defeating Spain in the final with a score of 66-61. An episode that makes any proud fan of the sport in our city.

LEGHORN ALSO WAS A KEY PLAYER IN EUROPE

Even teams Leghorn were protagonists in European competitions.

Especially the Libertas and Pallacanestro Leghorn have played, a total of 3 times, their match Korac Cup (the trophy in the photo), former European competition which was founded in 1972, has seen its abolition in 2002.

Leghorn, in its small, has played its part in 1984/85 with the formation of Libertas Leghorn sponsored by Birra Peroni, in 1988/89 with the Pallacanestro Leghorn sponsored by Allibert and again in 1989/90 with the Libertas Leghorn sponsored by Enimont.

Then everything ended with the merger, but if they still existed two the two companies, who knows if we would be here to recount only those shares or other equity maybe we would be telling perhaps the most prestigious competitions.

In this blog post all games played, with all statistics possible for you to relive those great emotion.

We continue our journey in the great personalities who have made great history of basketball in Leghorn. Today we will talk about Otello Formigli style is not invented, but with a style is born.

Its elegance, its tranquility, his jokes have made the history of basketball amaranth.

This was Otello Formigli. With him the ball into wedges in Leghorn knew the reputation experiencing epic moments.

From the pioneering invention exploits the "levers basketball" until long marriage to the Libertas: there are many events that have marked a career of sacrifice, common sense and a touch of humor.

Epica his proverbial calm in dealing with the embarrassment of scoring because even under twenty points, continued to encourage his teammates, saying, "Okay. You are good. Keep it up '."

Was his famous phrase: "The important thing is PUT THE BALL IN THE BASKET", reserved for its athletes without any distinction of valor.

Knew how to teach and defuse, amuse and bring the sport in the common fact of everyday life. An asset of inestimable value for a player and a coach who is.

PERSONALITIES - 1st PART: BRUNO MACCHIA

Starting today a new journey in the history of basketball in Leghorn. From today we will begin to examine the major characters (managers, coaches and players) who have written important pages of basketball in our city and in Italy. We start by dr. Bruno Macchia.

Dr. Bruno Macchia has not only been among the pioneers of basketball in Leghorn, but has spent his entire life around the sport, first as a player, then as a coach, then as a manager, both provincial and national level.

He is also responsible for the formation of the first section of arbitration and the start of the women's basketball.

But Bruno Macchia is primarily related to the "Leve basketball", an initiative designed to leave an indelible mark. Board by the recruitment of many young people will leave out many talented basketball labronica who joined the history of basketball country.

From basketball Bruno Macchia not if they have never separated, even when they start to become weak given the age and should be supported by a club. Until the last days of his life, Dr. Macchia has continued to feed on basketball.

Today the old indoor stadium in Leghorn, the mythical PalAllende, which saw the legendary business teams own citizens is called on his behalf, calling it PALAMACCHIA.
