He took up the sport at age nine. (mfsport.net, 24 May 2020)
:
"My adventure in water polo really started by chance or, rather, from the decision of my grandparents to take me to the pool as they no longer wanted to see me spending afternoons in front of a television. I started with swimming, but it was a mini water polo course, which I took part in when I was nine, that changed my life. From then on I never stopped playing. My role as a child was a defender, but after a few years I found my way between the goal posts." (mfsport.net, 24 May 2020; west46thmag.com, 28 May 2018)

Coach Alessandro Bovo. (mfsport.net, 24 May 2020)
:
"I believe 90% of being a strong goalkeeper is in the head. Everyone remembers the goals scored but fewer people remember the saves. The mistake for the goalkeeper is a really bad thing, which deeply affects the psyche. It is necessary to remember the mistakes made in order to be ready when the same situation arises again." (mfsport.net, 24 May 2020)

He was named 2016 and 2015 Athlete of the Year in Civitavecchia, Italy by the National Union of Sports Veterans. (centumcellae.it, 28 Mar 2017; 0766news.it, 25 Feb 2016)

He was named Best Goalkeeper of the 2012 Italian Cup. (wpdworld.com, 06 Apr 2012)
