Biography
He fired his first shot when he was 10 years old and never stopped since. His sister Nadia was the one who inspired him, former shooting guard of the Double Trap Italian National. Each platform they did together was a challenge to the last shot because, the Innocenti, the passion for hunting and skeet shooting is in their DNA (his cousin Elena also competed for Italy): since his grandfather opened the family armoury, with an attached shooting school, where the 37 year-old Tuscan works today. His dream is to win an Olympics medal. He missed the 2000 Sydney Olympic final by a disk several times on the European podium and on top of the world, in the junior category, He then participated in the Athens 2004, while being reserve in London in 2012. Now in Rio he has got a chance. After all, his life philosophy is encapsulated in the phrase "where there is a will there is a way."
