A1 M – Andrea Tartaro is a new player for Olympic Roma!
After Cristiano Mirarchi and Michele De Robertis, Olympic Roma is pleased to announce another important signing. The third new face is Andrea Tartaro, defender, arriving from Astra Nuoto Roma. Born in 2001, a true Neapolitan, Tartaro is a young player, but already very experienced and with five A1 championships under his belt. One more arrow in the bow of coach Mario Fiorillo, for an Olympic Roma that is increasingly improving in view of the next, difficult season.
Born and raised in the youth team of the historic Circolo Canottieri Napoli, he won the scudetto three times at youth level with the Giallorossi of Molosiglio Tartaro. At a very young age, he moved to the capital for study reasons, where he played for Roma Nuoto (then Ecological Districts and then Astra Nuoto, ed.) for five seasons in A1. Having passed through the entire youth national team, with the tricolor on his chest Tartaro won bronze at the 2019 U20 World Championships in Kuwait and silver in the 2021 U20 World Championships in Prague.
The welcome from president Mario Fiorillo: «We are happy with the arrival of Andrea Tartaro, a young but already experienced player. He plays a fundamental role as that of the midfield marker, but he too - like De Robertis - is able to play in different positions on the perimeter. We are satisfied: I am sure of the contribution he will give us. We are continuing to strengthen the team and Andrea represents an important piece for us."
The words of Andrea Tartaro: «I am very happy to arrive at a serious club like Olympic Roma. From the outside, I have always admired their very unpredictable and modern way of playing. It reminds me a lot of the Neapolitan style of play, so I can't wait to start this new adventure. I meet Cristiano and Michele (Mirarchi and De Robertis, ed.), two of my great friends and teammates, and above all being coached by a coach like Mario Fiorillo - who is a legend of this sport - is a real privilege". /p>
