My Story

I was born in 2004 in a small village in Tuscany, surrounded by nature, but not too far from the beach. In 2023 I have graduated from High School obtaining my diploma in the scientific field with a focus on sports.

​

As far as I can remember, I’ve always had a great passion for sports. Ever since I was a child, I’ve practised competitive skiing, judo, rugby… but I found my true love at eleven years old, when I discovered kitesurfing. From the very beginning, I combined the tricks at sea with my previous trainings, later introducing also acrobatic gymnastics and CrossFit. I believe this hard work was the key to my success.

​

I took part in my first kitesurfing competitions in 2018, year in which I reached the first place in the Italian Youth Championship U15 of the Italian Federation of Sailing. In 2021 I became the absolute Italian Champion and I won my first international race, the “Lords of Tram” in France. In 2022 I gained the title of World Champion but 2023 has been the year where I reached the "Trilogy", winning all of the three most prestigious competitions. 

 

Kitesurfing is an extremely eco-friendly sport, which allows me to be constantly surrounded by the elements, immersed between water and sky. That’s exactly why I have decided to be a part of many projects on ecology and sustainability, protecting the ocean and the planet, in line with the vision of my brand, Duotone Kiteboarding, which is also quite passionate about these matters (mettere il link specifico).

 

My goal is to continue playing sports, to take part in the highest kiteboarding competitions and to be a focal point for all the young people who, just like me, dream big.
