VARESE BASKETBALL



Cimberio S.p.A. has always had a passion for sports, especially basketball.
After many years of having our name associated first with Borgomanero (a team that went from category C all the way up to category A2) then with Novara (three seasons in A2), in 2007 we decided to take the big leap by associating our brand with one of the most historic and winningest teams in all of European basketball.
The binomial Cimberio - Pallacanestro Varese (team that has won 10 Conference Championships, 5 Champion’s Cups, 3 Intercontinental Cups, 2 Cup Winners' Cups, 4 Italy Cups, 1 Italian Supercup in its long and glorious history) has thus become familiar to all basketball fans: after one season in LegaDue (second-highest division of professional club basketball in Italy) it finished by winning the championship. Cimberio has played two seasons in the top A category and qualified for the play-offs this past season.

Our commitment alongside Pallacanestro Varese is expressed by our passion, but above all by our attention in promoting the sport in younger players.
Pallacanestro Varese, alongside Cimberio, invests a great deal in its youth sector: an indispensable and inflexible condition so that our adventure continues.

PALLACANESTRO IN CARROZZINA



Sport and socializing are occasionally able to go arm in arm. This is what we think.

This is why Cimberio has decided to “go beyond” and to not stop. The new adventure that we have embarked upon is wheelchair basketball: our name and our logo appear on the uniforms of the Pallacanestro Varese team which is playing in the category B championship.

In short, another Cimberio to root for. We have in fact decided to join the Varese team’s project where we are the main sponsor, which last July changed its name to Handicap Sport Varese.

The goals are ambitious. There is the desire to make it into the top category: but it doesn’t matter a great deal to us.
All we want is that little bit of pride that we feel growing inside, with the knowledge that we have done something to allow these wonderful kids to play basketball.

Whoever has the chance, go and watch a game of Cimberio Varese wheelchair basketball (the home games are played Saturday afternoons in the Valle Olona gymnasium in Varese).

You will be overcome by the enthusiasm and the competitive spirit of the players with the red and white jerseys and their adversaries, you will discover a whole new world and become a fan.

We will be rooting for them.


SILVIO "GNARO" MONDINELLI



It’s wonderful to think that the Cimberio brand has climbed to the top of the highest peaks in the world. And it’s wonderful to think that one of the most famous Italian mountain climbers, “Gnaro Mondinelli”, friend and testimonial of Cimberio S.p.A. was the one to do it.
Silvio Mondinelli has participated in about twenty expeditions above 8000 metres, where he was able to reach the peak in 16 of those. He has reached the summit of all 14 mountains on earth that are higher than 8000 metres and was the sixth man in the world to do this without the use of supplementary oxygen.

In the mountain climbing world, “Gnaro” is not only known for his mountain climbing accomplishments, but also for his numerous rescue missions done during his expeditions outside of Europe. Often the decision to bring aid to a fellow mountain climber in distress, sometimes a friend, but often not, is a determining factor in the failure in ones attempt to reach the summit.

With this same spirit Gnaro has approached the local populations he has met during his expeditions: he began collecting funds to help the Sherpa population in the Kumbu valley, especially the children, to give them the opportunity for a better future.
With the funds gathered, he was able to finance the construction and operation of a school in Namche Bazar; thanks to this initiative, 80 children now have access to elementary education.
