Biografia
I was born in 1986, when Madonna was singing "True blue", "Growing pains" was hitting TV and "Friday the 13th part VI: Jason lives" was... ok, this wasn't that epic.
I raised in a small town close to Lake Como and started Judo at the age of 6: immediately, I understood my nature and competitions after competitions, I chose my aim: Olympic Games.
My first National medal belongs to the end of XXth century (well, it was 1999, indeed...) and year by year, I got into a military professional club.
Unfortunately, I didn't get my Olympic pass for London 2012, even if I achieved some good international results.
Then, at the beginning of the new Olympic cycle, due to some unpleasant issues with my professional club and a very hard neck injury, I decided to get my own way and not to fight for that club anyway.
So, my life got a new direction: I met a splendid Mexican woman, who became my wife, and together we formed a family and given birth to an amazing little thing: our daughter.
With new energies, I decided to keep my sport career and finally I met Sambo: I fell in love with its spirit, rules and way to fight. In three years of Sambo, I achieved National titles, good positions at the European and World Championships, until getting a bronze medal at the last European CHampionship in Croatia this 2015.
So, I know the path is long and the way is hard, but I want to win the World title. I train hard with constance and dedication, and I am gonna achieve it: no step back, no retreat, just stay and fight. Mode: forward.
Please, support me and my dream. Make this journey together!!!
