FROM ERITREA TO ITALY
Born in Eritrea, he has lived in Italy since February 2004, when his family joined his father who had moved to Italy several years before. He became an Italian citizen in October 2015. "The bond with my homeland [Eritrea] is strong and inspires me. I often go back there to train at altitude and to see my paternal grandmother, who still lives there."
