The hitter has participated in Temptation Island and Men and Women and is very popular on social networks. “The priority, however, goes to volleyball”
Alessandro Graziani we can define him as the image man of Da Rold Logistics Belluno. On the other hand, he has a following of 127 thousand followers on Instagram, he is the boyfriend of the cycling champion Letizia Paternoster and in his curriculum he has two television experiences in Temptation Island and Men and Women.
Physical and self-image are taken care of with attention (“but not out of habit”, he is keen to emphasize). He first of all feels like a sportsman and not a person from the world of entertainment. Indeed, at the age of thirty on 2 October, he still wants to give a lot to volleyball. And the Belluno association is already a strong point.
The impact with the A3 was not memorable.
«With Pineto we have come close, while Macerata has revealed our limits. Having said that, we immediately challenged two of the main contenders for top positions. We had nothing to lose and it was an opportunity to play our game, after not having been able to play who knows how much in the pre-season ».
Where do you have to grow up?
«Our strikers need to get to know each other better with the setter. These are the situations that arise gradually and that is why it was better to immediately find two thick opponents, rather than clashes within reach. As it will be for example on Sunday in Bologna ».
Strength points?
«The cohesive group, the ability of young people to form a group, the presence of young people who grew up with society. Then behind us we have a partnership that pays great attention to detail, not taking anything for granted. See apartments, the customized bus, the transfers organized the day before. At the same time, however, you can safely go out for a drink with the executives. Joking with the president Da Rold I told him: “Now it’s up to us to repay you for all the effort” ».
Sport on the one hand, notoriety and the world of entertainment on the other. You’ve known them both.
“They are two worlds that, unfortunately or fortunately, don’t go hand in hand very much. And I still want to dedicate my time, my attention and my energy to volleyball. Of course, I keep an eye on any opportunities on the other side too, but it is still too early to follow alternative paths to the sport I love ».
And how did you meet Letizia Paternoster?
«On TV there was an episode of Men and Women. She had to go out with a friend of hers, but she was delaying her because she wanted to finish watching the program. Letizia hardly watches TV, but that day she connected to understand how much was missing at the end. She noticed me, she realized that I was a sportsman and… here we are ».
She comes to live here too, right?
‘He has already brought his things to the apartment near Piazza dei Martiri. But now he has to complete the season ».
Promoted to Belluno city?
«I am a born sailor, being from Genoa. But between her who is from the Val di Non and now this beautiful city in the middle of the mountains, I feel really good ».
And where do you get your coffee?
«The reference is the Deon, but I also enjoy it in the other places. With the team then we go to eat the wraps alla Caveja, or sushi or so on. Together with Letizia, on the other hand, we really appreciate the Astor terrace. And we hope to soon go and see Cortina, where I never am stateGIANLUCA DA POIAN
