Biography
After initially getting involved in sports through basketball and handball, he first entered a shooting range at the age of twelve, following a suggestion from one of his mother's friends. He picked up an air pistol and couldn't put it down from that moment on. Already a member of TSN Bologna, in November 2020 he enlisted in the Carabinieri. A gold medallist at the 2021 European Junior Championships in Osijek, thanks to shooting he began to travel the world and realise his dreams, establishing himself as a consistently high-performing athlete, especially on the World Cup circuit. At Paris 2024, he wants to emulate the feats of Roberto Di Donna, the Olympic gold medallist at Atlanta 1996 and his current national coach. A football enthusiast, in a more distant future, he is intrigued by the idea of resuming his studies, temporarily set aside, and pursuing a career as a coach to pass on his boundless passion to younger generations.
