  • Italy Water Polo
    MY IMPRESSIONS OF ITALIAN WATER POLO by Dante Dettamanti WHY ITALY? Now that I have retired from coaching and wine making, I have a lot more leisure time on my hands. This has given me the opportunity to spend six months in my father’s native country, Italy. I am situated in the hot bed of Italian Water Polo, the Italian riviera of Liguria near Genoa. There are thirteen professional teams from the top two divisions A1 and A2 located with twenty-five miles of each other; including the top Italian club team, Pro-Recco. Not only is Recco the top team in Italy, but probably the best club in Europe. Italian teams are allowed three foreign players, but Recco has five. Two are Italian citizens by virtue of marrying Italian women. WHO’S PLAYING? Top players from all over the world come here to play; mostly because of the competition and partly because of the money. It is like the NBA of Water polo. What a great opportunity for water polo players to play against the best in the world, and get paid for it! Players from countries like Canada and Australia have benefited greatly from the experience. Canada has sent eight players to play in Europe. A result of this is that Canada has qualified for the Olympic Games; the first since Montreal, where they were the host country. I really have a hard time with US Water Polo’s reluctance to allow Americans to play in Europe. Gone are the times when we could stay home and only practice together, and then try to beat the more experienced Europeans.
