He began swimming competitively at age six. (sportface.it, 11 Dec 2017)
:
"I started swimming when I was very young because my mum was a swimming instructor and I immediately showed a good propensity for water, even if initially I didn't attend the courses very willingly. Since I started the pre-competition, however, my competitive character has made me more and more passionate." (lungarnofirenze.it, 14 Nov 2017)

General Interest

General
UNIVERSITY DISSERTATION
He wrote his final year dissertation at university on the differences between competitive swimming in Italy and the United States of America. The dissertation was titled 'Parallelism and comparison in the culture and training methodology of swimming sprinters between the USA and Italy'. "It was a nice thesis to write, because beyond my personal experience in professional swimming, I had the opportunity to compare myself with other athletes of swimming in elite and technicians. The central objective of the thesis is the comparison between the methodology and the culture with which sport is faced in Italy compared to the United States." (swim4lifemagazine.it, 28 Apr 2021)

ARTIST
He has a passion for art and plans to focus on his artwork after competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "It's not easy [to balance swimming and art] but I think that if you really like something you will find some time to dedicate to it. It's like dessert at the end of a meal, there is always room for dessert in the stomach. I would like to enroll at an academy of fine art. I just have to be able to balance the commitments of studies with the sporting commitments."
