Guerrini takes the helm of the newspaper with the’goal of combining tradition and innovation by expanding basketball coverage while also focusing on new digital formats to dialogue with an increasingly large and involved community. “Italian basketball must regain a primary role in the sports scene and not only at the level of results. I am honored by the choice made by the publisher and happy to be able to contribute again to the telling of a unique story,” says Guerrini.

The new course officially kicked off on October 1: the next issue of the magazine will hit newsstands in about a week.
