Di Bartolomeo had an impressive two-year stint with the Paduan first team, during which they clinched the top Italian championship in 2022 as well as the Coppa Italia in 2022 and 2023.

Hailing from Padua, the 21-year-old hooker, who previously made his URC debut, will link up with his new club in the final week of June, when he will reunite with several former U20 national teammates in Parma.

“I am happy to be part of the team,” said Di Bartolomeo. “I understand that this represents a significant leap in terms of competition, but it motivates me to perform even better. I am eager to begin training and contribute to the upcoming season.”

Growing up in Padua, he embarked on his rugby career at the age of six with his local club, progressing through the youth ranks before joining the Treviso area academy. In 2019, he became a member of the prestigious “Ivan Francescato” National Academy, making his debut in the Italian Top League. In 2021, he returned to Petrarca and earned his first taste of top-tier Italian rugby with the first team.

Throughout his development, Di Bartolomeo showcased his versatility by playing various positions in the scrum, including prop and number eight. He even flirted with the idea of playing centre before ultimately finding his ideal fit as a hooker when he turned eighteen.

Di Bartolomeo already has experience donning the Zebre jersey, having made his debut in March 2022 during an away match against the Cell C Sharks. Furthermore, he has represented Italy at various youth levels, featuring in the special edition of the Six Nations tournament held in Cardiff in the summer of 2021, where he competed for the U17, U18, and U20 teams.

In 2022, Di Bartolomeo also had the opportunity to represent the Emerging Italy team, participating in matches against Romania and South Africa.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
