Silvio Pellico cannot be mentioned without associating the name of Giampaolo Galleri . For over half a century he was the demiurge of the Sassari volleyball club that led both men and women to the highest levels in the city, also producing players from the national team such as Pier Paolo Peru and Rosanna Baiardo. Not only Sassari, but all of Sardinia and Italy mourn the passing of Giampaolo Galleri, 76 years old, of which 64 spent with volleyball as he said, given that the electrocution with sport occurred at the age of 12.
Federal councilor and worthy coach Fipav, silver star of Coni, but above all the engine of Silvio Pellico and of volleyball in general , because there are hundreds and hundreds of athletes who have coached, raised, launched. And more than that A2 series touched by both the women's and men's teams, his medals are the enormous amount of work done to promote volleyball, with competence and inexhaustible energy. And if other Sardinian companies have reached those categories, it is also due to the push that Giampaolo Galleri has managed to give to the whole movement. As a coach, an inexhaustible manager also for ideas and projects, and also a writer, given that he has published 5 books on volleyball.
As a federal executive he also took part in the Sydney Olympics.
