[edit] History

Basketball in Scafati dates to 1949, when a group of students founded a local team named Silvio Pellico after an Italian patriot of the 1800s. The team merged with rival club Savoia in 1955, forming Scafatese Basket, which was renamed Centro Sportivo Scafatese in 1969. The team played in the lower regionally-based divisions of Serie C and Serie D until the early 1990s when the club, under the presidency of Aniello Longobardi, climbed up the national basketball system pyramid to reach Serie A in 2006.

The club has also been known as Longobardi Scafati (2000-2001) ^[1], Rida Scafati (2001-2003) and Eurorida Scafati (2003-2006).

[edit] Arena

Today, the team plays its home games in the PalaMangano (named after former head coach Massimo Mangano), a 3,700 arena.
