I live in the high ApenninesTuscan-Emilianat the foot of Mount Cimone.
As a kid I couldn't stop asking my parents to take me on excursions inmountainI was literally overwhelmed by the attraction that the adventurous dimension of the mountains had on me. At 14 I climbed my first 4,000-meter peak,the Gran Paradiso, together with an Alpine Guide.
At that moment I understood what I wanted to do when I grew up.:I wanted to make mountaineering my profession.
In the following 20 years I had the opportunity to take part in highly demanding extra-European expeditions, such as the solo ascent of thePolish direct route on Aconcagua 6,996 mwhich I completed at just 22 years old. I have been on mountaineering and ski mountaineering expeditions in Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina.
I love the mountains in all their forms. I work full-time as a Mountain Guide and Helicopter Rescue Technician. In the winter, I enjoy winter mountaineering and ski mountaineering in my beloved Apennines, and in the summer, in the great mountains of the Alps.
