History

edit

Scafati Basket traces its history to Silvio Pellico, a club founded by a group of students in 1949. That merged with Savoia in 1955 to form Scafatese Basket, which would be renamed Centro Sportivo Scafatese in 1969. The team played in the amateur regional Serie C and Serie D until the early 1990s when, under the presidency of Aniello Longobardi, it climbed up divisions to reach the first tier Serie A in 2006.

It was relegated from the Serie A in 2007–08.
