The "Corrado Spatola" puts the four districts on the court
In Orvieto, the rivalry between the four historic districts is not only played out in relays or summer tournaments: basketball is one of the disciplines that award points in the Trofeo dei Quartieri (the "Districts' Trophy"), the competition that runs throughout the year pitting Corsica, Stella, Olmo, and Serancia against each other.
The Torneo dei Quartieri di Basket (Basketball District Tournament) is named in memory of "Corrado Spatola", a figure linked to Orvieto's sports scene. The four district teams face each other over several days of competition in June, in an atmosphere of healthy rivalry that involves players and fans of their respective colours.
The results of the tournament contribute to the broader Trofeo dei Quartieri promoted by the municipal administration, which awards points to the districts in various disciplines. It is an initiative that, in the Municipality of Orvieto (Province of Terni), keeps alive a tradition of belonging and participation that characterizes the city's life.
The 15th edition of the Torneo dei Quartieri di Basket, named after "Corrado Spatola", takes place from June 15 to 20, 2026. The four district teams of Orvieto — Corsica, Stella, Olmo, Serancia — face each other over several days of competition, with results contributing to the broader Trofeo dei Quartieri (the "Districts' Cup") promoted by the Municipality of Orvieto.
The detailed match schedule and venues will be announced by the organization in the preceding days.
The matches take place in Orvieto during the month of June; venues and schedule are announced by the organization and the Municipality of Orvieto.
