Here is the president Igor Pace: «I am happy for the return of Alessandro Baldinelli, a boy that I trained from the youth team and that we all know very well. Now he has moved here, he will continue to play in the pool where he was born, it was not a transfer operation but his choice, that of returning to Ancona. I am sure that he will be able to bring his contribution, the one we know well. We are sorry, however, to have to say goodbye to Gennaro Pecoraro and Francesco Alessandrelli, two guys tied to the environment and society".
