Biography
From winning the Italian under-23 single scull title to securing an Olympic berth with the eight, his journey has been marked by hard work, ambition and faith. All of which has been rewarded. Born and raised in Naples, he has a deep love for his region’s culinary delights, especially pizza. Transitioning from the single scull, he tested himself in the coxless four, but found balance and strength in the eight. Step by step, he reached his most significant achievement: securing a place at the Paris 2024 Olympics during the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, just over two months before the Games. This will be his first Olympic adventure.
