Biography
At the age of four, he watched the Sydney 2000 Olympics on television: the exploits of Russian legend Alexei Nemov won him over, so the next day he made his mother accompany him to friend Gian Paolo Murtas, who became his first coach. To turn artistic gymnastics from a passion to his life, he moved to Milan, where he began the journey that would take him to Paris 2024. Covered in tattoos, he gained notoriety thanks to the reality show "Ginnaste: Vite Parallele," then in 2021 in Japan he made history by becoming the first Italian world champion in the floor exercise. Despite several shoulder problems, he also boasts two European medals in his trophy cabinet. Now is the time to realise his childhood dream – this time in reality rather than through a television screen: the Olympic Games await him.
