Biography
“Remember to forget about fear” is not just the title of his book, but the very essence of his success. London 2012 Olympic champion, many times European champion, the Italian shooter is destined for victory. He is the golden star of target shooting: he earned a degree in Engineering at West Virginia University, a Master’s in the UK and did an internship with Ferrari in order to study the technologies of the famous racing car and apply these to his air rifle, because he too, like the team in Maranello, is in obsessive pursuit of perfection. In America, however, the 28-year-old from Florence also learned to better know himself. Technique and meditation: two bullets to shoot in Rio.
