'''Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna 103''', commonly known as '''Fortitudo Bologna''' and currently known as '''Fortitudo Flats Service Bologna''' for sponsorship reasons,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sportando.basketball/pompea-e-il-nuovo-main-sponsor-della-fortitudo-bologna/ |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=8 August 2019 |title=Pompea è il nuovo main sponsor della Fortitudo Bologna|website=sportando.basketball |access-date=13 August 2019 |language=Italian |trans-title=Pompea is the new main sponsor of Fortitudo Bologna}}</ref> is a [[basketball]] club based in [[Bologna]], Italy and currently plays in the [[Serie A (basketball)|second division]].

==History==
Fortitudo has for much of its history played second fiddle in its own city to arch rivals [[Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna|Virtus Bologna]], with whom it contests the fierce [[Bologna Derby]]. Fortitudo won its first major trophy in 1998, winning the [[Italian Basketball Cup|Italian Cup]].

Fortitudo made the [[Lega Basket Serie A|Italian league]] finals ten consecutive years (1997–2006). After three straight finals losses, Fortitudo won the Serie A for the first time in 2000. Four consecutive finals losses were followed by Fortitudo's second league title in 2005, courtesy of a 3–1 win over [[Pallacanestro Olimpia Milano|Armani Jeans Milano]] in the finals series when [[instant replay]] upheld a Ruben Douglas [[buzzer beater]] in Game 4 of the championship series.

In recent years, Fortitudo had been a fixture in the European top-tier [[Euroleague Basketball|Euroleague]]. Fortitudo's first achievement in European competition was a [[FIBA Korać Cup]] final against [[KK Split|Jugoplastika]] in 1977 in their maiden participation. It got to the [[1998–99 FIBA EuroLeague|Euroleague Final]] four in 1999 (losing in the semifinal against city rivals [[Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna|Kinder Bologna]] and in third place game against [[Olympiacos B.C.|Olympiacos]]) and the semifinal of the [[2000–01 Euroleague#Playoffs|Euroleague playoffs]] in 2001 (again eliminated by rivals Virtus); then the club lost in the [[2004 Euroleague Final Four|Euroleague final]] in 2004 to [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] by 44 points. The [[2006–07 Lega Basket Serie A|2006–07 season]] saw them change coaches three times as they finished thirteenth (out of eighteen), though they still qualified for the [[2007–08 ULEB Cup]].

Due to economic irregularities, upon Fortitudo's relegation from the [[2008–09 Lega Basket Serie A|2008–09 season]], the team was not allowed to participate in the 2009–10 Serie A2, restarting from the Serie A dilettanti. After winning that league, Fortitudo was once again excluded from Serie A2 and the club's affiliation to the [[Federazione Italiana Pallacanestro|Italian Federation]] revoked. As such, Fortitudo was barred from playing in any league, save for youth development leagues.

=== The Rebirth and return to the top flight ===
On 18 June 2013, a group of local entrepreneurs, professionals and fans joined to give life to Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna 103, the spiritual successor (with the same fan base such as the Fossa dei Leoni fan group) of the original entity. Starting from the fourth division DNB, Fortitudo climbed to the second division [[Serie A2 Basket|Serie A2]] where it played during the 2015–16 season.

After a successful campaign in 2018–19, the club qualified for promotion to [[2019–20 LBA season|Serie A]] for the first time since its 2009 dissolution. They later qualified to the [[2020–21 Basketball Champions League]], but they finished last in their group. In the [[2021–22 LBA season|2021–22]] season, they finished in the 15th position to be relegated to Serie A2.
