Dinamo Basket loses one of its founders. Roberto Centi, a Tuscan from Lucca, born in 1943, who in 1960 studied at the Azuni High School in Sassari, has died. He was one of the students who created what would become 30 years later the most important basketball club in Sardinia and 50 years later would land in Serie A, winning trophies and even a championship.

Roberto Centi was not the only "continental" of that group that included Piero Baraccani, Peppino Padula, Rosario Cecaro, Antonello Manca, Uccio Virdis, Bruno Sartori, Graziano Bertrand, Pier Luigi Pes and Giuseppe Pilo. The students of the Sassari high school met on the San Giuseppe field to play basketball and decided to found a new club, a multi-sports club (at the beginning they also played a bit of volleyball) and not satisfied with the names Libertas and Virtus that were circulating at the time, they chose one common to Eastern European clubs: Dinamo.

Dinamo managed to get a better pitch, always outdoors of course: first that of Gil and then that of Meridda which hosted the first championships.

Roberto Centi had moved to Viareggio a few years ago but had kept in touch with his companions from that extraordinary adventure and still followed the exploits of the company he had helped to found.
