FOCUS ON THE POOL
He has represented Italy in both indoor and open water swimming, but decided in 2020 that he would focus on indoor swimming ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "My priority remains pool swimming. I will certainly continue competing in open water because I have fun there and I see it as a feasible path to follow in the future. But regarding the Olympic Games [in Tokyo] I will focus everything on swimming in the pool." (swimswam.com, 12 May 2020)
