The story of women’s volleyball in Perugia started thanks to the passion for the game of a local parish. Father Aldo Falini was the first actual coach to string together a series of prestigious wins and put together a very close group of people. As Pallavolo Sirio reached in the early 1980s, thanks to the fighting spirit shown on the court, the Italian Serie B (third division) the passion of the Perugia fans was set ablaze and more and more people were fascinated by this simple and yet thrilling sport. Expectations soon shot through the roof as new significant sponsors and new and accomplished management staff contributed to put together ever more competitive line-ups. In 1986 current President Carlo Iacone made his debut in the team and the Serie A2 (Italian second division) became just a matter of months.
1989 went down in history as the year of the promotion in the Serie A1 (Italian first division). A dream come true. From then on the team started racking up a series of significant wins such as the Coppa Italia 1992 and a string of championships led for the whole regular season well ahead of the competition. Ruthless and thrilling play-offs brought Sirio twice within an inch of the tricolore as the team capitulated on both occasions in the final game.

The team started going international and made its debut in the European Cups always ready to take on any opponent and bearing well in mind the pride and joy of the whole organization: its junior teams which supplied over the years a real wealth of talented players trained by scrupulous, enthusiastic and motivated coaches.
As years went by wins kept flowing in. Except for the hapless season 1995 and the relegation in the Serie A2, Pallavolo Sirio always enjoyed a place in the Elite of international volleyball as witnessed by the Coppa Italia won in 1999, the Cup Winners’ Cup won in 2000 and the good placings gained in the Italian Championship.
Year 2003 was a historic year for Sirio: again a win in the Coppa Italia and the much longed-for Scudetto; Perugia gained thus the right to participate in the 2004 European Champions League in which the team made it through to the final. In the next season Perugia was again amongst the leading teams as they won the Coppa Italia, the CEV Cup and, once again, the Scudetto gaining thus the right to participate in the 2005-2006 European Champions League. The European Champions League was win in Cannes in March 2006.
