Biography
He is the perfect example of the winning effect that study and sport have on each other, thanks to a specific dual career programme that has always enabled him to successfully combine the two disciplines. After high school, he enrolled at university, without giving up his competitive dream, which was fuelled by competing for CUS Trento. He then moved on to 707 Team Minini, managing to gain a leading role within the sport at a national level and reap the rewards built with sacrifice and determination. An engineering graduate, his greatest joy came in October 2022, when he won the World Cup for the first time in the sprint race in Miyazaki. He has always liked to see how he reacts to new challenges and is now attempting to establish himself internationally in Paris 2024. His sporting role model is multiple time Olympic winner Niccolò Campriani.
