History
The club was founded in 1983 as River Volley and was based in Rivergaro. It had only youth team activities until 1988 when a senior team was created and the club started competing in the lower divisions in Italy.[2] By the early 2000s the club was playing in the third and second divisions of the Italian league, and decided to move its professional senior activities to Piacenza keeping the youth activities in Rivergaro.[2] It reached the Serie A1 for the first time in 2006, after winning promotion at the end of the 2005–06 season.[2] It was relegated in its first season at Serie A1 but returned to the highest league for the 2009–10 season.[3] The club started to become competitive in the Serie A1, winning the league, cup and supercup in both 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons.[2][4]
In May 2016, an agreement between River Volley and Liu Jo Modena (LJ Volley) was announced, following LJ Volley decision to stop its volleyball activities. In the agreement River Volley acquired LJ Volley assets (players and rights to play at the PalaPanini) with Liu Jo becoming River's main sponsor and the club being renamed Liu Jo Nordmeccanica Modena.[5] The club remain based in Piacenza but its home matches moved from PalaBanca to be played at the PalaPanini in Modena.[6][7][8]
After the 2017–2018 season Cuneo Granda Volley acquired the rights to play in Serie A1 from River Volley and the club was dissolved.[1]
