History

Before the creation of Fortitudo Agrigento, there were many different teams in Agrigento. In 1968, one of these local teams achieved promotion to Serie C, but due to financial difficulties it soon had to leave the league.

In 1969, Fortitudo Agrigento was founded and started in the 7th-tier League, "Promozione", of the Italian basketball league system.

During the 1988–89 season, Fortitudo achieved promotion to Serie B beating Porto Empedocle, Cefalù, Catania and many other popular teams. In the next season, Fortitudo was relegated again to Serie C and decided to rebuild part of the team from the 1988–89 season with a new manager. At the end of the season Agrigento was again in Serie B.

From the 2007-08 season, Fortitudo Agrigento achieved a series of consecutive promotions until promotion to Serie A2 in 2012.

gollark: I don't use EIO now because I disagree with the changes it made in the 1.12 update.
gollark: Ferroboron can't be made in an induction smelter, oddly.
gollark: I don't want tiny compact-machine-fitting things (well, I kind of do, but separate to giant, awe-inspiring ones incorporating fusion plasma injectors of death, hopefully), I want giant ones requiring huge amounts of infrastructure to support it, with cool visual effects, massive (actually fitting, you know, a *fusion* reactor) power output (ideally via steam turbines), that sort of thing.
gollark: Also, I hope the new fusion reactors take inspiration from ReactorCraft.
gollark: The mekanism ones are a bit crazy. If you want oxygen, feeding the separator RF from its own hydrogen run through a gas-burning generator, *it works fine*.
