A passion born out of gratitude to my father between workshops, karts and the race circuit

MANTUA «One day, accompanying my father as usual, we saw several carts with two-stroke engines outside a small garage. Naturally we got close and that’s how I met my first mechanic ever. From here my life and that of my family changed forever.
In 2015 came the first race, the first contact with real competition, in 2016 the first race with a top-level team, the first podium and the first exciting victory.
The time of this tragedy gave me the opportunity to think deeply and understand how much I wanted to become a professional pilot.
From here the real climb began, from the first season racing and winning Formula 4 in 2021, to my first championship against motorsport professionals in the TCR Italia championship in 2022. Many victories and many satisfactions that have given me this last 4 experience. years, with my father Antonio always by my side. Thanks to him and all this, today I can finally show my driving skills and my determination, at the highest levels of the wonderful world of Motorsport.”
