Biography

One of the Italian mosqueteers. He started fencing at the age of five, and now, at 32, after two Olympic golds in team foil (Athens 2004 and London 2012), he arrives in Brazil to win also as an individual. Originally from Brescia, the current European champion, who since 2012 has the world record of victors in the World Cup, is studying Sport Science in Milan. Cars are one of his passions, and one of his dreams is to take part in the Mille Miglia, touring Italy on board of a vintage car. Before that, though, he must win another Olympic Game.
