I started cycling when I was 9, although both my parents were MTB cyclist I had tried four different sports before taking up cycling.

I immediately fell in love with being free outside, myself my bike and nature.

I live in Schio, Italy at the bottom of the mountains, in an area between Lake Garda and Venice.  This area is ideal firstly for cycling, and secondly for my other passions like hiking, fishing and spending time with friends at the lake or in the middle of nature in the mountains.

Another passion of mine is cooking and drawing, I like experimenting with new recipes and preparing food for my training.

My biggest goal is being able to fight for the victory in the north classic races and being a key helper for my teammates.
