Rovigo is the Italian champion, sponsored by citrus producer Agricola Lusia, for the 14th time: the ‘Bersaglieri’ beat Petrarca Padova 16-9 in the final of the ‘Top 10’ which took place in Parma, putting their signature on the 92nd edition of the men’s 15s rugby tournament. "It is a great honor for us to be partners with Rugby Rovigo Delta, with whom we share many of our company values - says Daniele Campagnaro, Agricola Lusia’s CEO - and we congratulate the whole team for this extraordinary result".
The 176th ‘derby of Italy’, which is worth the title for the third consecutive year, at the end of a game of great intensity, brought Rovigo back at the top of Italian rugby after two years.
For over 20 years Agricola Lusia, a Venetian company led by the Campagnaro family, has been distributing citrus fruit products, both domestic and imported, to Italian retailers. One of the main citrus producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as a privileged partner of Agricola Lusia, is of course South Africa, where rugby is THE national sport. Many of the champions who contributed over the years to building the legend of Rugby Rovigo came right from there, from the myth Naas Botha to Tito Lupini, from Joe Van Niekerk, to Stefan Basson, to the giants Dirk Naudè and Lubabalo "Giant" Mtyanda, to Nick Mallet (former South Africa coach) to Gert Small. And moreover, AJ Venter, Hendro Scholtz, Os Wiese and Dries Coetzer.
Agricola Lusia has always considered sport, and especially rugby, an important vehicle to convey the values of a healthy and respectful lifestyle, values which the company is committed to promote through its business, i.e. the marketing of quality, healthy and high nutritional fruit & vegetables via the Country’s main retailers, after having carefully selected them around the world.
This same vision has guided the development of the most innovative Project, "iSuccosi", the only oranges with guaranteed juiciness, created in collaboration with Ca' Foscari University of Venice, which led to the development of a patented method allowing the scientific selection of each individual orange, determining its juiciness with objective and measurable parameters, without destroying the fruit and therefore in a completely sustainable way.
Given the wide success obtained in Italy, Agricola Lusia has decided to present the product to the international stage and, following the prestigious Fruit Logistica showcase in Berlin, “iSuccosi” will be present at Fruit Attraction in Madrid from 3 to 5 October 2023.
