Biography
Champion in sport and life. As a child he defeated the most dreaded opponent, a brain tumour, and from then on he expressed through fencing his lust for life. On the podium, he also found the courage to ask for the hand of Lavinia Bonessio, Italian pentathlon athlete, who would then become his wife. Testimonial for the Italian Association for Cancer Research, and passionate supporter of AC Milan, the 33 year old from Catania has a world gold and a European silver in individual épée under his belt. In the future he would like to become a sports journalist, but in Rio he is ready to write another important page of Italian fencing.
