Pier Giorgio Delfino was born in Cogoleto (province of Genova) in 1958.

His passion for climbing began at 26 when with some mates have started climbing the routes of a cliff next to his house.

Not content, he faced his first canyoning adventures at Rio Cerca and at Prialunga, in a crescendo that will take him in several places of Northern Italy and of France.
