It was 25 years ago, this year, that – according to Claudio Fantini – volleyball came out of the indoor sports centres and onto the beach in Italy, via the glamorous beaches of California. Fantini, in fact, is the man who claims to have introduced beach volleyball to Italy – and there are few that […]
