[3] Renamed as Basket Livorno from 1998, the club would see the D'Alesio family withdraw their support in 2000, with the Falsini brothers - through their brand Mabo - taking over the sponsorship the same year.

The latter would try and reduce their share by incorporating corporate ownership, though they resisted selling the license to another city,[4] the TD group became a mayor sponsor in 2007.

After two further years in Legadue, Basket Livorno decided to withdraw from their participation in the next edition during the summer of 2009,[5] amidst reported debts of €2,000,000.

It later emerged during a 2015 investigation that the management had been using two company accounts, official and unofficial, processing undeclared financial transfers to defraud creditors, the 2014 bankruptcy of Basket Livorno was reconfirmed at the same time.
