    The real names of Italian clubs

    What are the real, traditional names of the Italian basketball teams? Like -- Fortitudo has been Team System, PAFF (if I'm correct), Skipper, now they've changed the name again...

    BENETTON TREVISO
    ?

    POMPEA NAPLES
    ?

    VERTICAL VISION CANTU'
    I remember SQUIBB Cantu long ago, then a string of other names. Any traditional name?

    CLIMAMIO BOLOGNA
    Fortitudo, for ever Fortitudo.

    LOTTOMATICA ROME
    Hm? Banco di Roma was once champions of Europe...

    ?

    VIOLA REGGIO CALABRIA
