The Allianz Pallacanestro Trieste game on Sunday 14 April at 18:00 against Urania Milano will celebrate the UniTS Centenary. The LEDs on the sidelines and the Palatrieste wall will display colours and images chosen to celebrate this historic anniversary.

Even the court flooring will be customised to remind basketball fans that sport and study go hand in hand. This union of sport and study will also be underlined by the presentation of a special game jersey to Rector Roberto Di Lenarda by the General Manager of Pallacanestro Trieste, Michael Arcieri.

‘This year we are celebrating an anniversary that has great significance for the University and for the entire city of Trieste,’ comments Michael Arcieri. ‘Our partnership is a tribute to the shared values of education and sport, and we are proud to contribute to such an important celebration. We are pleased to announce that the match against Urania Milano at PalaTrieste will really showcase this partnership.’

‘We believe that passion for sport as a player or even as a supporter is a sign of vitality and enthusiasm that, in the case of our students, helps them face the challenges of study, work and life,’ adds Roberto Di Lenarda. ‘We are happy to paint PalaTrieste’s home court with the colours of our centenary and invite all sportsmen and women to participate in our initiatives dedicated to this historic anniversary.’
