OLDER BROTHER
His older brother Valerio has also played professional basketball. "He gives me advice for basketball, but also for life off the court. Sometimes he tells me what he did wrong and tells me not to do the same, to do better than him. Maybe about my mindset; I may not be happy because I played a bad game or because I played few minutes, so many times at those moments he gives me advice that is important for me. He's my brother, but he's also my best friend." (euroleague.net, 11 Nov 2020)
