He took up the sport in 2000 at the Canottieri Menaggio club in Italy. (azzurridigloria.com, 20 Jun 2020; worldrowing.com, 01 Sep 2015)

He began rowing to improve his health and lose weight. "I started the sport through family friends. It was my mother who made me want to row." (azzurridigloria.com, 20 Jun 2020; canottaggiomania.com, 01 Jan 2015)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (canottaggio.org, 28 Nov 2019)

Winning bronze in lightweight double sculls at the 2017 European Championships in Racice, Czech Republic. (azzurridigloria.com, 20 Jun 2020; worldrowing.com, 01 Sep 2019)

Philosophy:

"Rowing has taught me that in life we must never give up. Even when difficulties come, we must persevere and find a solution to the problem. Even if you do not reach a competitive level, it teaches you to work, to be precise, to have respect for opponents, for places, and for people." (azzurridigloria.com, 20 Jun 2020)

In 2019 he and his teammate Stefano Oppo were named Crew of the Year by the Italian Rowing Federation [FIC]. (canottaggio.org, 28 Nov 2019)

TEAMMATE
He began rowing in the lightweight double sculls with Stefano Oppo in 2017. A year earlier they had joined forces in the lightweight coxless four along with Martino Goretti and Livio La Padula at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "Stefano and I come from two different generations, I am a little older, but we feel good and we share a great feeling on the boat. Sometimes the secret is to detach a little, so when we finish training we take different paths, then when we are on the boat we work well together, and we seek the best understanding."
