History
Rugby Colorno was founded in 1975 as an Under-19 team, by Paolo Pavesi, to participate in the Italian Junior Championships. They were a group of young beginners inexperienced in the area, the pitch borrowed from the parish, with open air changing rooms and using buses to travel to matches. They won promotion to the Top12 in the 2018-19 season.[1]
For the 2019–20 season, fly-half Leonardo Mantelli is a permit player for Zebre in the Pro14.[2]
