Ravenna founded by a group of businessmen and lovers inspired by Giuseppe Brusi, it landed in A1 at the end of the eighties, continuing a tradition that makes the city one of the "cradles" of Italian volleyball.

In the 1990–91 season, coached by Daniele Ricci, the team (with notable players Vullo, Timmons, Kiraly, Margaret, Gardini, Masciarelli) won the league and the Italian Cup.

Among the players who have played for the team are the Brazilians Renan Dal Zotto and Giovane Gávio, the Russian Dmitry Fomin, and the Italians Vigor Bovolenta and Andrea Sartoretti.

The youth activities (which over the years Il Messaggero was coordinated by the Polish Olympic champion Alexander Skiba) led to the formation of the players who dressed the national team and that still tread the fields of Serie A.

With the financial crisis of the industrial group Ferruzzi-Montedison and the death of the entrepreneur Raul Gardini in July 1993, the sports club gradually lost subsidies needed and went to meet a decline or loss; it continued its work (summarizing the name Porto Ravenna Volley), winning one more European title in 1997, the CEV Cup combined with several sponsors that allowed her to continue trading in Serie A until 2000.
