Romolini Immobiliare - Christie's Real Estate and Dukes Basket Sansepolcro 2026 / 2027.
Published 24-09-2026
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
For many years, Romolini Immobiliare – Christie’s International Real Estate has stood alongside Dukes Basket Sansepolcro, supporting the first team and, more broadly, the growth of a sporting organization deeply rooted in the local community.
This is a partnership that goes beyond the simple relationship between a sponsor and a sports club. Romolini Immobiliare and Dukes share a vision based on common principles: the value of family, the importance of the local community, the growth of young people, a strong sense of belonging, and the desire to build something solid and lasting for future generations.
These are values that are also deeply rooted in the history of Romolini Immobiliare. Founded in Anghiari and grown in the heart of the Valtiberina, the company has built its identity over the years through a strong relationship with the territory and the people who live there. Today, as the exclusive partner of Christie’s International Real Estate for Tuscany and Umbria, it brings the image and excellence of this region to an international audience, while remaining firmly connected to its roots.
In the same way, Dukes has represented an important part of the Sansepolcro community for decades. Its history, which began in 1957, goes far beyond the first team and sporting achievements. It encompasses hundreds of young players, families, coaches, and volunteers who contribute every day to the growth of the basketball community.
Romolini Immobiliare & Dukes: Young People, Community and Continuity for Serie C
In the same way, Dukes has represented an important part of the Sansepolcro community for decades. Its history, which began in 1957, extends far beyond the first team and sporting achievements, encompassing hundreds of young people, families, coaches and volunteers who contribute every day to the growth of the basketball community.
Dukes Basket Sansepolcro has officially presented its first team, Romolini Immobiliare Dukes, ready to face a new season in the Tuscany Serie C Championship.
The presentation was attended by the Mayor of Sansepolcro, Fabrizio Innocenti, and City Councillor for Sport, Giuseppe Pincardini, highlighting the strong bond between the club, the city and the local community.
Romolini Immobiliare once again stands alongside Dukes as a sponsor that has supported the Serie C project for many years and, more broadly, the club’s development. It is now an established partnership supporting a basketball organisation that has grown to involve almost 250 registered players, across the first team, youth academy, minibasket and Special Basket programmes.
A Team, a Community, a Family.
The parallel between the two organisations is particularly strong when it comes to the concept of family.
For Romolini Immobiliare, family has always been an important part of its identity: a company born from a family project and built over the years while maintaining a direct and personal relationship with clients, colleagues and the local community.
For Dukes, family means the large community that comes together every day at the sports hall: from the children in the minibasket programme to the young players in the youth academy, all the way to the first team, coaches, parents and the many volunteers who make the club’s activities possible.
Two different organisations, but united by the same idea: growing together, giving young people opportunities, positive role models and a place where they can feel they belong.
The Romolini Immobiliare Dukes first team represents this journey. Serie C is not simply the highest level of the club, but also a goal that the young players who are taking their first steps in minibasket or the youth categories can aspire to.
Supporting Dukes therefore means, for Romolini Immobiliare, investing in the future of Sansepolcro and the Valtiberina.
Sport teaches discipline, commitment, respect, teamwork and responsibility. These are the same values that, in a completely different context, guide the daily work of a company and the development of a business project over time.
For this reason, the partnership between Romolini Immobiliare and Dukes is above all a partnership with the local community: a tangible way of supporting an organisation that gives young people not only the opportunity to practise sport, but also the chance to grow within a community.
Because a team is not made up only of players. It is made up of people, families, a community and shared values.
And, just like a family, a team grows when each generation builds something that can be passed on to the next.

Dukes Special Basket: Sport as Inclusion
A fundamental part of the Dukes family is represented by Dukes Special Olympics Basket, a programme dedicated to athletes with intellectual and relational disabilities through the Unified Basketball format.
The team trains regularly at the sports hall and, over the years, has had the opportunity to represent Sansepolcro beyond Italy’s borders, taking part in European events within the Special Olympics circuit.
Thanks to the club’s ongoing commitment to promoting inclusion and sport for everyone, Sansepolcro will host an important international event on the weekend of 3–4 October: the Special Olympics Tournament, featuring 17 Italian and European teams.
It will be an event of great sporting and social value, bringing together athletes, families, coaches and volunteers from different countries and transforming the city into a meeting place centred on sharing, respect and friendship.

The aim is to offer young players a pathway that does not end with the youth categories, but allows them to gradually move towards the first team, train alongside senior players and gain experience in senior-level basketball.
A History That Began in 1957. Almost 250 Members and a Growing Youth Academy.
Basketball in Sansepolcro has its roots in 1957, when Professor Pellico Barbagli, a pioneer of sport in the Valtiberina area, officially introduced the sport to the city.
Dukes embraced this legacy and, over the years, continued to develop the local basketball community. After seasons that also featured highly experienced rosters, the club gradually established a project based on long-term planning, rejuvenating the first team and developing local talent.
This journey reached a historic milestone in 2023, when Dukes achieved direct promotion to Serie C for the first time.
Since then, Serie C has represented the top level of a project that begins well before the first team.
The youth academy and minibasket programme are the driving force behind Dukes’ activities, accompanying young players from their first experiences with basketball through to the official youth categories, from Under 13 to Under 19.
Among the most important achievements of recent years was winning the Coppa Toscana Under 19 Gold in the 2024/25 season.
At grassroots level, the club has also been awarded the FIP Minibasket Platinum Plus Quality Certificate, recognising the educational and sporting value of its programme dedicated to its youngest players.
Investing in the Future of the Community
