RETURNING HOME
After spending two years training with coach Matteo Giunta in Verona, Italy, in 2019 he decided to return to Rimini and train with his former coach Luca Corsetti to prepare for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I need my family on one side, and on the other side to be followed by a coach who takes care of and try to improve me, technically and physically, who is dedicated to me and Luca was willing to pick things up that was interrupted some time ago. To get to Tokyo I need the air of home." (oasport.it, 20 Dec 2019)

CROHN'S DISEASE
In June 2016 he was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. For five months he struggled with the condition before being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. "Knowing what that was allowed me to start from scratch. Finding the proper, non-invasive therapy, took me a year, but after June 2017 I began matching up sport and the disease. Today I can do everything I want. The disease doesn't put on me any limit. Of course I have to look after my nourishment, avoiding dairy and spicy products among others. I just have to take a medicine in the mornings and evenings, and an injection once a month to live like anyone else." (sanitainformazione.it, 03 Oct 2019; wisesociety.it, 11 Dec 2018)
