At only 25 years old, he has already won the most important and difficult battle of his life, defeating a tumour last year. After the surgery and rapid healing, the cheerful and smiling boy returned, paired with Paolo Nicolai, outdoing opponents around the world. In Palmares, they have found themselves on numerous podium finishes during the World Tour, along with gold medals in the Euro 2014 and 2016. He started playing on the beach in Fregene with his father and grandfather, affirming himself as a real talent in this discipline. He also shares an aversion to travel with Nicolai, because of long travelling times, whilst they share a faith in football: Paul is Inter, he is an avid supporter of Roma and the captain, Francesco Totti.
