COACH RELATIONSHIP
He has been coached by Eugenio Migliore since he was a boy. "I have a very strong relationship with my teacher, which is based on great trust on the platform and friendship outside. We have been training together for 25 years. Between us we have a language of our own, also made up of many silences. We are able to understand each other without necessarily needing to speak."
