General
AIR FORCE
He has been in the Italian Air Force since 2013. "I actually feel more connected with the sea than the air. But my dad had a private plane, and I flew with him many times. I'm much more a 'feet on the ground' kind of person though, but being part of the Italian Air Force is a great experience." (Instagram profile, 11 Apr 2020; gazzetta.it, 21 Sep 2019; iwc.com, 2018)

CANCER
In 2015 he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg and had surgery. "Certain things happen to teach you something. I am no longer afraid of anything. This experience has strengthened me as a person and as an athlete." (donnamoderna.com, 19 Aug 2016; gazzetta.it, 17 Aug 2016)
