HISTORY

From the ‘20s till today. On those six clay courts. From the very beginning the club became the reference for tennis in Venice, being recognized in Italy and abroad. The Belle Epoque “Haute Société” was fascinated by the wonderful facilities priorly requested by the Earl Volpi of Misurata.

‘30s are here and the Myth becomes. For years the greatest players of the world would have reached the Lido to conquer the much coveted Trophy Tarhe Volpo. Pietrangeli, Sirola, Merlo, Emerson: are only few of the big names that left an indelible mark on the history of the Club and of the Venetian Tennis.

In 1947 after more than 20 years of history, TC Venezia becomes an association as today still is. The club opened his gates to more people, promoting the sport even better within the territory, fitting the needs of those times perfectly. A mission we have kept and today we feel even stronger.

The Club stays in the heart of our guests. Whenever if they are top players or amateurs our courts are the scene of many amazing events. Some examples: the clinics held by the greatest Italian player Nicola Pietrangeli or the Celebrity tournament held during the infamous and close Mostra del Cinema.

People love Tennis more and more and the International dimension strengthens. Besides many events the history of Coppa Valerio begins. A true Junior Davis Cup: the future generations of pros played on our courts, including future ATP number one such as Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Today Tc Venezia looks ahead proud of its glorious past. The responsibility we all feel because of our history, together with the number of members and young players matches the need of renovation sport always demands: technical preparation, attention to details, enhancing urban heritage and having a social role are our pillars for the future to come, both for competition and leisure.
