Biography

Following in his father Silvano's footsteps, star of the national team in the 80s, he took up rowing when he was just 11 years old and immediately achieved significant results in various categories. He can boast podium finishes at the European Championships and the World Championships (senior and junior), crowned by the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics in the quadruple sculls, with, among others, Luca Agomennoni, his companion once again in Rio. Since 2013 he has been married to actress and model, as well as Italy's entrant at Miss World 2004, Valeria Altobelli, who he met on a beach in Sabaudia and with whom he has a little boy, Gioele.
