History

As part of the association, the club was officially established on 14 May 2009 and named after Chieri Volley (also known as Pallavolo Chieri and Chieri Torino).[1] The origins of In Alto Chieri dates back from the late 1990s, when Chieri Volley, the traditional professional women's volleyball club of the town and InVolley, another local volleyball club, started a project on which Chieri focused on the professional team and InVolley on the youth teams.[2] Soon after more local clubs joined in and the In Alto Chieri association was established in 2004.[1] When the association acquired a Serie B2 licence and assets from Carol's Volley in 2009, the club was formed and named . The debut came in the 2009–10 Serie B2 and in the following season the club was promoted to Serie B1. At the end of the 2014–15 season, after four seasons in Serie B1, the club received a place in Serie A2 due to withdraw from other clubs.[1]

On 28 September 2015, the club changed its name to and due to sponsorship it is also known as Fenera Chieri.[3] On 8 June 2016, the In Alto Chieri association becomes the consortium, with the club being one of its seven members which are all located in the South and South East of Turin.
