 | | Last season, Virtus Bologna won the prestigious Coppa Italia, and the previous season swept all before them taking the ‘Grand Slam’ of Coppa Italia, the Campionato (Italian League) and the Eurolega (European Championship) to become the most successful club in Europe. |
 | | The club, like Volvo, is celebrating its 75th anniversary, having been founded in April 1927, just a few days later than their Swedish car sponsor, and they play their home matches in the magnificent Pala Malaguti in front of 8,000 passionate Italian basketball supporters. |
 | | Certainly, with Volvo at their side Virtus Bologna will have the drive and the motivation to achieve their goals this season, although a second ‘Grand Slam’ in three years is, like most of their team, a very tall order. |
