Born in Foggia, (Puglia, Italy), 1973.
Puglia, Foggia (1973). At 13 years old I began to do scout camps. The first to Longarone, in Belluno (destiny?). Many sports practiced. One day, on TV, documentary Sector with a young man (a long, long time ago ...) with a tight-fitting trousers white dots blacks (I still have the original videotape) climbing without a rope, salt salt salt tirelessly (and stopped for a while, f ** k!) ... then, he takes off his shirt and then goes on, more and more up!

IWANTMAKEMEALSOOOOOO!!!
My parents: "The psychiatric Hospital just waiting for you, then they are full."
I broke the balls for 2 years. Exasperated, my uncle, says: "At the next Scout Camp, we find an instructor and try. If it is dangerous, take it off the head!"
At 17 years of new scout camp in Longarone, we find an instructor, Maurizio Venzo (which I had the pleasure of seeing after 20 years with him and climb in the wall gym at the Sportler Climbing Center, Silea (TV)). It teaches the fundamentals, my uncle realizes that, with the right criteria, is not dangerous, so much so that he begins to climb.
Let's go back to Foggia, gassed, search people climbing (I was the first to Foggia :)), we find walls into Gargano (Puglia), recruit friends to introduce them to climbing, we form a group, we become instructors, courses do, we grow, we equip new sectors on the Gargano, put on a gym (which will be closed later due to an "insane friend " who thought only of his interests), however, it goes on.
The school is over, the work begins .... finishes the job in Foggia ... you do ?????
So ... how is the job situation in Longarone (in 1998), I start with my partner and a friend.
To the second question of work, a man says, "You start tomorrow." Me: "But I have nothing with me, I just came to see if I found work !!!"
Let's run down, we take our things and we move on ... and where I'm going to take home ??? But of course ... !!! ERTOOOO to ...!
Working and climbing, climbing and working (most other passions ...) and so on ...
Present day? Family ..., 2 children, a good job, still live in Erto (and do not regret it at all!), I climb, I take care of my new sector "Piccolo Eden", an extension of the sector BIG (also why I care constant maintenance), and continually lot to reconcile everything. A special thanks go to those who believed in my choices and let me do, my wife! Also, thanks to some friends who have made me grow in climbing (changed from when I later transferred here) and they gave me the opportunity to be able to take a lot of satisfaction.
Uh! I think I've said enough ...! What do you think? :-)
