Villa Fabbriche won the 2015 Italian Club Open Teams Championship: Filippo Palma, Dario Attanasio, Mario D’Avossa, Giuseppe Failla, Riccardo Intonti, Fabio Lo Presti, Francesco Mazzadi, Ruggero Pulga, Gianpaolo Rinaldi.
In Women’s series the title went to Reggio Emilia: Irene Baroni, Margherita Costa, Carla Gianardi, Cristina Golin, Chiara Martellini, Silvia Martellini, Annaelisa Rosetta, Marilina Vanuzzi, Ezio Fornaciari (cng).
The team sponsored by Francesco Angelini (with Leonardo Cima, Valerio Giubilo, Lorenzo Lauria, Mustafa Cem Tokay; Federico Primavera Antonio Sementa, Alfredo Versace) winner of the the 2014 Italian Club Open Teams Championship, did not reach the semifinals.
The team sponsored by Maria Teresa Lavazza did not participate in this event. Why? In a recent interview, published by Neapolitan Club, Giorgino Duboin explained: “The main reason is the availability of our team members: Alejandro Bianchedi and Agustin Madala live in Argentina and it is not easy to arrange their travels for each round. Even Norberto Bocchi, who as you know is living in Spain, does not find it easy to travel frequently on Saturdays. Moreover, our sponsor Maria Teresa Lavazza is not madly in love with this event. But mostly, some rounds of this competition overlap with other international events we want to play in. Furthermore, the appeal of the Club Teams Championships is that the winner will play in the European Champions’ Cup. But this opportunity is open only to the first 10 ranked teams in the latest European Championships, so Italy cannot take part. We will play there anyway because we are the holders. “.
The final stages of the Italian Club Teams Championships were held in Salsomaggiore Terme (Parma, Italy) June 18 – 21, 2015.
