History

In 1971, don Guerriero Giglioni with other young people took a late 1960s team called Fiamma ("Flame" in English) and decided to form a club called Atletico San Cristoforo. It remained mainly an amateur club with its teams (men and women from various age groups) playing in local, regional and lower national leagues until the 1980s, when former first team players became part of the club's organizational structure and the focus became more technical and organized. With sponsors support its teams start making progress and achieving promotions in the Italian leagues. The club changed its name to Polisportiva Filottrano Pallavolo and its main sponsor is local fashion company Lardini. In 2014 the women's team was promoted to Serie A2.[1][2] In 2017, the women's team won promotion to the Serie A1 by winning the 2016–17 Serie A2 title.[3]
