Romagna Rugby is an italian rugby team that bases its mission on selecting, training and
grooming young athletes coming from the Romagna region.
I am the official photographer of the Romagna Rugby from 2010.
At the beginning the team played in serie B. In the first year the team won all the 22
matches, reaching the serie A2. In the second year the team reached the serie A1.
Following the economic crisis and the difficulty in finding sponsors, the company had to
give up the inclusion of skilled foreign players, forcing and anticipating the integration
of very young boys in the first team.
Today the team plays in Serie B and fight for promotion to Serie A.
