My name is Andrea Martinelli, and I was born in Bologna, Basket City, in 1984. 
I've been a professional basketball coach for about 20 years, and since 2019 I've been participating in Virtus's ONE TEAM program. 
 
During high school, I started working as an assistant coach, and over time, my passion has turned into my profession. 
 
Since 2008, after always holding down two jobs, basketball has become my main occupation, and I've been fortunate enough to coach great players, like Mariella Santucci, point guard for the Italian national team, and achieve great results.
