In the TORONTO SUN, Steve Buffery writes "the Raptors will train in Treviso, where Bargnani played for two seasons in Lega A (Italy's top basketball league), from Sept. 29-Oct.4, before heading to Rome, where Bargnani was born and raised, for pre-season games against the Boston Celtics (Oct.6) and h ome side Lottomatica Vitrus Roma (Oct.7). In both cities, it's expected that the Italian and Toronto media will clamour for interview time with the young NBA standout, above and beyond the usual 15-minute scrums. Still, Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo is not overly worried that the 21-year-old Italian sports icon will be distracted.”
