RosetoROSETO degli ABRUZZI 2006 - Italy stages an “open” men’s SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event for the first-time since 2001.  A renowned seaside resort, perfect for a relaxing holiday for families, Roseto degli Abruzzi is located between the Tordino and Vomano rivers and strikes the visitor with its fine, late 19th-century villas.  A municipality since 1860 and once named Rosburgo, Roseto degli Abruzzi is an established tourist resort with 42 beach facilities, 37 hotels and 10 campsites.  Brazilian teams have captured six of the previous 11 SWATCH stops in Italy.  Dio Lequaglie and Giovanni Errichiello posted the best finish for an Italian team in the 11 events with a silver medal in 1989 at Jesi.  It is one of two silver medal finishes for Italians on the SWATCH tour.  Roseto degli Abruzzi hosted an FIVB Challenger event in 2005, where the Brazilian brothers Ferreira (Jan and Para) captured the final and the same promoter also organized a CEV Beach Volleyball event in the same year.

Forlì, Italy, January 28, 2006 - It was in the fitting environment of Italy's "Volleyland" exhibition that FIPAV President Carlo Magri was able to underscore the development of Beach Volleyball in Italy with the announcement that the European country will for only the fifth-time ever host two SWATCH-FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour stops in the same season.  Italy also hosted men's and women's events in the same season in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001.  More
