Why this sport? |
"I started swimming when I was very young because my mum was a swimming instructor and I immediately showed a good propensity for water, even if initially I didn't attend the courses very willingly. Since I started the pre-competition, however, my competitive character has made me more and more passionate." |

Other information |
UNIVERSITY DISSERTATION He wrote his final year dissertation at university on the differences between competitive swimming in Italy and the United States of America. The dissertation was titled 'Parallelism and comparison in the culture and training methodology of swimming sprinters between the USA and Italy'. "It was a nice thesis to write, because beyond my personal experience in professional swimming, I had the opportunity to compare myself with other athletes. The central objective of the thesis is the comparison between the methodology and the culture with which sport is faced in Italy compared to the United States." (swim4lifemagazine.it, 28 Apr 2021)
ARTIST He has a passion for art and plans to focus on his artwork in the future. "It's not easy [to balance swimming and art] but I think that if you really like something you will find some time to dedicate to it. It's like dessert at the end of a meal, there is always room for dessert in the stomach. I would like to enrol at an academy of fine art. I just have to be able to balance the commitments of studies with my sporting commitments."
