A league title, an Italian Cup and a son. 2016 for the "blue" libero has been full of emotions, he helped to end the 14-year title drought for Modena. But the strongest emotion was provided by his wife, Eleonora, who gave birth to Riccardo at the end of March. Born in Formia, and raised in Latina, at 19 he began his journey around Italy to follow a dream that is now taking him to Brazil.

That's for sure.
