Biography
At the age of 11 he realised that football was not for him and enrolled with his cousin in a course at Canottieri Padova rowing club: it was love at first sight. He loves the precious yet delicate balance created between the athlete, the boat and the river; he loves and hates the fatigue and tiredness caused by the hard workouts he subjects himself to on a daily basis, proving emphatically that those who told him “he doesn’t have the right physique” were wrong. Reserve for Tokyo 2020, he has always followed, in sport and in life, his mantra "Work pays": this is how he won two European golds, a silver and a world bronze, and this is how he won the pass for his first Olympics as a protagonist.
