Biography
He watched the Rio Olympics from the sofa at home, with his disappointment offset by the joy of victory for his friend Daniele Garozzo, his roommate during training camps with the national team. A success that also marked a turning point for his career. Fed up with watching his teammates celebrate, he turned his anger into energy. In 2018, at the age of 28, he put the individual and team gold medals around his neck and finished the season at the top of the world rankings, a position he confirmed the following year thanks to his individual and two subsequent European triumphs. The first time with the foil in his hand was at the age of six when, following in his older brother's footsteps, he began attending the Circolo Scherma Terni, a gym in which he has also coached young people learning about the discipline. His battle cry of Daje (Roman dialect for “come on”) is also engraved on his blades. Passionate about cinema, he dreams of a future as a director, but in Paris, his second Olympics, he wants to write an Oscar-worthy script.
