History
Founded in 1978 as a cultural club dedicated to Pablo Neruda, volleyball become one of the club's activities in the early 1980s as youth teams began to compete in the regional leagues. The team did well achieving promotions but for financial reasons it declined competing at the higher national leagues. That changed in 2008 when Rudy Favretto became its president with a project to bring the club to the forefront of Italian volleyball. Personnel with experience at the Italian national youth teams were brought into the club and in 2012, the club acquired a licence to play in the Serie B1 from Pallavolo Vigevano. After playoffs and repechage the club gain promotion to the Serie A2 in 2013 and moved to the PalaResia.[1]
