==History==
== 66.202.195.97 address ==
Despite being one of Europe's richest clubs, Fortitudo has for much of its history played second fiddle in its own city to arch rivals [[Virtus Bologna]]. Fortitudo won its first major trophy in 1998, winning the Italian Cup.


Fortitudo made the Italian League championship finals ten consecutive years (1997 through 2006). After three straight finals losses, Fortitudo won the Italian League Championship for the first time in 2000. Four consecutive finals losses were followed by Fortitudo's second league title in 2005, courtesy of a 3-1 win over [[Olimpia Milano|Armani Jeans Milano]] in the finals series when [[instant replay]] upheld a Ruben Douglas [[buzzer beater]] in Game 4 of the championship series.

In recent years, Fortitudo has become a fixture in the [[Euroleague]], basketball's equivalent to the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] in [[football (soccer)|football]]. It got to the Final four in 1999 (it lost in semifinal against Virtus Bologna) and the semifinal of Euroleague playoffs in 2001 (again eliminated by the eternal rivals of Virtus); then the club lost in the Euroleague final in 2004 to [[Maccabi Tel-Aviv (basketball)|Maccabi Tel-Aviv]] by 44 points, after defeating [[Mens Sana Basket|Montepaschi Siena]] on the day before in semifinal. However, they had a subpar [[Serie A (basketball) 2006-07|2006-07 season]] by their recent standards, finishing 13th out of 18 teams after changing coaches no less than three times. They nonetheless made the field for the [[ULEB Cup 2007-08|2007-08]] [[ULEB Cup]], as most of Italy's entries to that competition are based on performance over a three-year period, and Fortitudo's past performances compensated for their disappointing 2006-07 campaign.

Fortitudo's home arena is [[Land Rover Arena|Paladozza]], now also known for sponsorship reasons as [[Land Rover]] Arena.
I've reverted the removeal of my comment on the talk page. You are right, it is forum-like and does not relate to the content of the article. However, I am extremely dubious about the editing of *other peoples comments in talk pages*. It is in my experience - and rightfully so - normal on a talk page instead to leave a comment.

Do you think it makes sense to put discussions you participate in on your watchlist, and check back if people responded to your contributions?

Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna is a prominent Italian League professional basketball club that is based in Bologna. As is the case for virtually all Italian professional basketball clubs, Fortitudo normally has a sponsor's name attached to it; the current sponsor is Italian department store chain UPIM. For past sponsors, see the list below.

History

Despite being one of Europe's richest clubs, Fortitudo has for much of its history played second fiddle in its own city to arch rivals Virtus Bologna. Fortitudo won its first major trophy in 1998, winning the Italian Cup.

Fortitudo made the Italian League championship finals ten consecutive years (1997 through 2006). After three straight finals losses, Fortitudo won the Italian League Championship for the first time in 2000. Four consecutive finals losses were followed by Fortitudo's second league title in 2005, courtesy of a 3-1 win over Armani Jeans Milano in the finals series when instant replay upheld a Ruben Douglas buzzer beater in Game 4 of the championship series.

In recent years, Fortitudo has become a fixture in the Euroleague, basketball's equivalent to the Champions League in football. It got to the Final four in 1999 (it lost in semifinal against Virtus Bologna) and the semifinal of Euroleague playoffs in 2001 (again eliminated by the eternal rivals of Virtus); then the club lost in the Euroleague final in 2004 to Maccabi Tel-Aviv by 44 points, after defeating Montepaschi Siena on the day before in semifinal. However, they had a subpar 2006-07 season by their recent standards, finishing 13th out of 18 teams after changing coaches no less than three times. They nonetheless made the field for the 2007-08 ULEB Cup, as most of Italy's entries to that competition are based on performance over a three-year period, and Fortitudo's past performances compensated for their disappointing 2006-07 campaign.

Fortitudo's home arena is Paladozza, now also known for sponsorship reasons as Land Rover Arena.
