The official presentation of INVICTUS Camp was held this morning in the prestigious Sala dei Cento of the Palazzo di Residenza CARISBO, an initiative that marks the return to Bologna of champion Zoran Savic to rekindle "Basket City", in the presence of the various prominent figures who will have an active part in the project, as well as a packed audience, between guests, partners and media representatives.
The introductory greetings saw the President of CARISBO as the protagonist, Prof. Gianguido Sacchi Morsiani, who said he was extremely pleased to host such an important event at the Cierrebiclub headquarters, remembering the great chapters written on the field by Zoran Savic. Representing the precious support of the official sponsor Stefauto - Mercedes Benz, brought greetings from the lawyer. Mario Stefanelli and his daughter Francesca another member of the family, Alfonso Stefanelli, who, moreover, will in turn be involved in the event. Dr.. Giancarlo Tonelli, General Manager of ASCOM, he explained joining the initiative by giving his patronage and motivated support by strongly believing in the healthy values communicated by sport.
We then got to the heart of the presentation, conducted by the Communications Director for all Savic activities, Michele Forino, who told how “Invictus” is not a random name, but you represent Zoran's own career, the sportsman who has won the most national and international finals throughout his career for a total of 91,3%! He then illustrated the program of the camp and all the related information, to then leave the floor to Marco Sanguettoli, Technical Manager - thanks to the availability of Virtus Pallacanestro - who defined the objectives and activities of the camp with his intervention, including giving the most technical connotation possible of typical basketball training, in order to leave a "trace" to each participating boy. But not only, INVICTUS Camp also includes other disciplines (including swimming pool in moments of relaxation, soccer for the little ones, hip hop for little girls and girls, with a course also dedicated to those who do not play basketball). And above all tennis, coordinated by the Federal Master Paolo Mingori.
Last but certainly not least, the precious intervention of Lorenza Guerra Seràgnoli, owner of LGS SportLab, who explained the collaboration created to organize a charity auction in the week of the camp, whose proceeds deriving from the memorabilia of great sports will be donated to three non-profit associations in particular: LGS Junior Team, Matteo's World and La Colonna Onlus. The real protagonist of the project and of the morning was obviously Zoran Savic, came specially from Barcelona. The champion has always remained strongly linked to Bologna, since the years spent in Virtus and Fortitudo. As he himself explained, the idea of a camp dedicated to kids from 6 to 17 years gives everyone the opportunity to gain new experiences, giving the opportunity to experience how to train with authentic professionals. But Savic thinks big: it hopes to transform INVICTUS Camp into an annual event, destined to extend beyond a single week, always taking as a base the Cierrebiclub CARISBO of Bologna, with the precious support of Intesa Sanpaolo.
So to extend it to other squares in Italy and why not in Europe, until joining with another important project of his, BASICBALL Academy already born in Dubai ... Entering the heart of the event, INVICTUS Camp will take place at the Cierrebiclub CARISBO from 29 June to 3 July 2015: these five days will be full of activities and "Special Guest Stars" characters, all invariably linked to Savic's life, including Peja Stojakovic, Rasho Nesterovic, Dalibor Bagaric and Zan Tabak, all from the past NBA.
