Born and raised on the shores of Lake Orta in northern Italy at the foot of the Alps, I am a physiotherapist and an athlete specialising in trail running.
I have always been fascinated by the beauty, balance, and mechanisms governing both nature and the human body. Trail running and skyrunning represent, for me, the perfect meeting point between these two worlds.
"I run because it gives me a unique feeling of freedom, lightness, and well-being. But I also love competition. I am driven by the desire to push my limits and see how far I can go."
This mindset led me to represent the Italian national trail team on three occasions, as well as earning three selections for the Italian national skyrunning team. In 2025, I also won the title of Italian Long Distance Trail Champion.
With each race, I seek that profound connection between performance, nature, and self-transcendence—a pursuit that guides me both as an athlete and as a person in everyday life.
