Biography
He is the grandson of Carlo Macchi, an icon of Italian fencing who, in addition to founding the Circolo di Navacchio fencing club, collaborated with the federation for years in various roles, including as head coach of the U20 national team. His girlfriend Giulia, meanwhile, is the daughter of two former foil champions, Gianmarco Amore and Diana Bianchedi, and, unsurprisingly, wields the same weapon. He is a huge fan of Pisa, loves trap music, and continues the family tradition with excellent results. Born in 2001, in 2023 he reached the top of Europe at the individual level, in addition to winning the team event at the European Games in Krakow. It is no surprise to find him on the Azzurra team for Paris 2024: the five rings are part of his destiny.
