## History

In 1996, Serie A1 club Unione Sportiva Cistellum Volley was playing at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Cislago, a venue with small capacity, forcing the club to look for a new home venue. In 1997, when the nearby city of Busto Arsizio inaugurated a 4,490 seat venue named PalaYamamay-Maria Piantanida, Cistellum decided to relocate to Busto Arsizio where it remained for three seasons. After relegation to Serie A2 at the end of the 1999–00 season, the club transferred all its sporting activities to Yamamay and Futura Volley Busto Arsizio is created.
The club's first season was at the Serie A2 in 2000–01, promotion to the Serie A1 was achieved after seven seasons, in 2007. The first title was the 2009–10 Women's CEV Cup and in 2012 the club won four titles (Serie A1, Italian Cup, CEV Cup and Italian Super Cup).
