He fell, picked himself up again and won everything. In 2002 he was diagnosed with an ischemia in his left arm and had to stop for two years; at a certain point it looked like he was going to have to give up his career all together. Instead, he managed to return to the playing field and achieved a number of victories with the Trento team and the National team. He has a degree in Motor Science and he also fulfilled his dream of taking part in the Olympic adventure in Rio, after the successful experience 4 years ago which rewarded him with a bronze medal. He likes to read, listen to music and travel when he’s not playing volleyball, although he considers himself privileged to play for a living.
