I define myselfa sportsman since alwaysSince I was a child, I began to appreciate the mountains thanks to my parents who often took me on hikes. At 10, thanks to the father of a friend, I began to take part in some outings with the youth mountaineering club.CAI of AlbaHe was the person who introduced me to the world of mountaineering.
Then I met peers who, like me, were passionate about the mountains. We shared unforgettable experiences together, and they remain my companions on many adventures to this day. The memories I have with them have two constants: the mountains in the background and the fact of always being able to count on solid company. I believe that the mountains, with their values ​​of sharing, trust, respect, and mutual support, have been agreat source of teaching for all of us.As time went by, I began to dedicate myself to rock and ice climbing, ski mountaineering, and mountaineering, and this underscores the fact that in my life, as well as in my passion for the mountains, I have always set goals to achieve. Recognition of my dedication came with my entry as aaspiring member of the CAAI, Academic Alpine Club. In 2023 I will join the projectCAI Eagle Team, conceived by the Italian Alpine Club and the Academic Alpine Club, along with renowned climber Matteo Della Bordella. The goal is to be among the six finalists who will participate in an international expedition to Patagonia in 2024.
Curiosity, the desire to challenge myself and improve, always motivate me to explore distant places and undertake challenging climbs that few people manage to complete.
