Reyer Venezia Mestre, or Reyer Venice Mestre, is an Italian professional basketball club that is based in Venice, Veneto. It operates both men's and women's professional teams, both playing in their respective first divisions as of the 2016-17 season. Founded in 1872, as gymnastics club Società Sportiva Costantino Reyer, it started sponsoring basketball in 1907, operating in the past as Pallacanestro Venezia.
The men's team won the LBA in 1942 and 1943.
History
The team was founded in 1872, by the gymnastics teacher Peter Gallo in Venice. In the 1941–42 and 1942–43 season, Reyer won back-to-back Italian league titles. In 1944, the team also won the Italian championship, but the victory was not approved by the Italian Federation.
In 2006–07, Reyer was the amateur champion of Italy, and promoted to the LegaDue. In the 2010–11 season, the team finally promoted back to the Lega Basket Serie A.
