About Us
Federazione Italiana Roundnet
Discover our commitment to promoting Roundnet throughout Italy and join us to experience this sport as never before.
Who we are and what we do
Welcome to the world of Federazione Italiana Roundnet (FIR).
We are a national sports association, founded with passion and determination by a group of local realities united by a single great goal: bring roundnet on every field, lawn and beach of Italy.
FIR was born as an open, dynamic and inclusive space, where two strong and complementary souls coexist:
- on the one hand, promotion of sport, through events, tournaments, open days and dissemination activities designed to introduce roundnet to anyone who wants to enter the field;
- on the other hand, the development of the competitive side, driving athletes and affiliated teams in a path of technical, organizational and human growth, to best address the challenges of the competitive season.
We operate in a democratic and transparent, non-profit-making way, with the idea that sport is first and foremost community, participation and true passion.
Meet our Executive Board

Lisa Pizzo
President
I am Lisa and I have been part of the world of the Italian Roundnet since 2019, but do not expect to see me dominate the field, my talent is played behind the scenes!
I love organizing, planning and making each event an unforgettable experience.
Whether it's tournaments, rallies or just running things right, I'm always ready to give my best to our community. 🧡

Laura Lucchiari
Vice-President
My name is Laura and I play Roundnet from far 2021, when still no one knew well whether it was a sport or an excuse to dive into the sand.
In 2022, together with a group of friends, I founded my first Roundnet ASD in Bologna.
I like to be on the field, but even more to see the Roundnet grow thanks to those who organize it, promote it and really believe in it. That's why I chose to go behind the scenes: tournaments, events, Excel tables and a thousand posts on WhatsApp are almost as much in my daily life as the games.

Giacomo Paolo Colliva
Treasurer and Event referent
I'm Giacomo and you can find me both on the field and behind the roundnet scenes.
In the Federation I play the role of Treasurer and Referent to events: I keep finances and coordinate the organisation of tournaments throughout Italy, working closely with clubs to make the calendar, logistics and communication run as best as possible.
My dream is the constant growth of Roundnet both in Italy and around the world, also experimenting with new rules and formats to find its best version, in order to create a unique international competition able to unite all the states in a single large circuit.

Pierfrancesco Piotto
National team contact
I am Pier, the group elder, faster with my fingers on a keyboard than running behind a ball.
My passion for roundnet goes beyond the game: I dream of a wider, inclusive and welcoming community, where even those who have just arrived can experience memorable events and feel immediately part of the group.

Nicole Biondini
Social Media contact
Hi, I'm Nicole! 😊 The most qualified person to select the most beautiful photos (and even the least beautiful ones, depends on the day). If you want to publish something on our Instagram page contact me! Don’t look for me for technical advice or serious answers, because... well, I’m not really good at it. 🤣
