Other sports:

He has competed in Para triathlon at international level and Para athletics at national level in Italy. Before his impairment, he also competed in able-bodied cycling at national level. (sportabilityliguria.it, 13 Jun 2021)

He took up rowing in 2018. (sportabilityliguria.it, 13 Jun 2021)

"I got into rowing thanks to Societa Sportiva Murcarolo president Luca Cecchinelli. He was manager of the Trionfo Ligure, the athletics team where I competed and he suggested it to me. He said, 'You are strong in athletics, you are strong in triathlon, you will be strong in rowing, do you want to try?' And it started like that as a joke. They gave me a trial and I came close to the Italian record time. Then they called the coach of the national team, he was incredulous. He came here from Naples and I did an even better trial than the first. In the end they told me, 'You are strong, if you learn to row you will be fantastic'." (genova24.it, 05 Jun 2021)

Philosophy:

"Never feel sorry for yourself, it is useless. Whatever happens in life, work or sport, we must always look on the positive side. If a person sees the positive side every time, they live better." (sportabilityliguria.it, 13 Jun 2021)

General
ROWING PARTNERSHIP
He says he and rowing partner Chiara Nardo have a good relationship in and out of the boat, but admits both lack experience. "The partnership affects a lot. If we are not in perfect harmony, the boat will not go anywhere. We get along in every sense, both as people and as athletes. Ours is a very young boat. She has been rowing for a year-and-a-half, while I only have three years' experience. We have only rowed together for a few months in the past year [speaking in 2021] - for ten days before the European championships and another ten before our qualification. We have a lot of room for improvement." (sportabilityliguria.it, 13 Jun 2021)
