Biography

At 17 he left football and started running and so, the former outside left player of the Navacchio has become one of the top Italian long distance runners, becoming in 2014 European marathon champion. But the thirty-year-old from Tuscany, who has also won a continental bronze in Barcellona in the 10,000 meters (to which he added the silver medal in Helsinki 2012), a third place in the European cross country event in Budapest 2012, runs fast also in life. Testimonial for the charity known as “Associazione per donare la vita”, he spends his spare time with his partner Giada, son Dario and daughter Noemi.
