History
Origins of basketball in Scafati are dated 1949, when a group of students founded a local team named Silvio Pellico after an Italian patriot of the 1800s. The team merged with rival basketball club Savoia in 1955 in order to found Scafatese Basket, then renamed Centro Sportivo Scafatese in 1969. The team played among the lower regionally-based basketball division of Serie C and Serie D until the early 1990s when the club, under the presidency of Aniello Longobardi, climbed on the national basketball system pyramid up to reach Serie A in 2006.
Arena
Today, the team plays its home games in the PalaMangano (named after former head coach Massimo Mangano), seating 3,700 spectators.
