Mens Sana Basket, more frequently referred to as Montepaschi Siena, is an Italian basketball club from Siena. More precisely, it is the now-autonomous basketball section of the comprehensive sports club Polisportiva Mens Sana. "Montepaschi" is an internationalized short form for the name of the club's principal sponsor, the Siena banking company Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

[edit] History

The parent club, founded in 1871, claims to have been the first in Italy to play and organize basketball, asserting that it did so shortly after James Naismith invented the sport in 1891. However, despite its history, it was mostly a provincial side until 1973, when it joined Italy's top division for the first time. The club became increasingly competitive over the years, starting to play in European competitions in the 1990s.

Since the turn of the 21st century, Montepaschi has established itself as one of the strongest clubs in Europe, with a win in the Saporta Cup, an Italian League Championship, and regular Euroleague appearances, including two trips to the competition's Final Four.

Before Montepaschi's advent, the Sienese side was main-sponsored by Sapori (1973-1978, 1981-1983), Antonini (1978-1981), Mister Day (1983-1986), Ticino (1990-1993), Olitalia (1993-1994), Comerson (1994-1995), Cx Orologi (1995-1996), Fontanafredda (1996-1998) and Ducato (1998-2000).[1]
