WHY Reggio Calabria?
Where Basketball Meets Legacy
Reggio Calabria boasts a deep and passionate basketball culture, with a rich history that has shaped the careers of some of the game's greats. The city has long been a hub for high-level basketball in Italy, attracting global talent. Notably, NBA legend Manu Ginóbili played for Viola Reggio Calabria early in his career, honing his skills before becoming an international superstar.
Joe Bryant, father of the late Kobe Bryant, also played professionally in Reggio Calabria, exposing a young Kobe to the city's vibrant basketball scene and European playing style. The city's love for the game runs deep, with dedicated fans and a competitive basketball environment that continues to develop elite-level players.
This legacy makes Reggio Calabria the perfect setting for Hoops & Heritage International Summer Experience, where athletes can immerse themselves in the sport’s rich history and the cultural beauty of Italy.
