I started running in the mountains ten years ago. My first race was the selection for the European Mountain Running Championship. I remember that I won that race, a short race of 4 kilometers and 300 metres. After this, I won the European Mountain Running Championship twice, as a junior. It became more difficult when I made the switch to the senior category. For 3 years nothing worked and that was the first time when I thought about giving up. However, I decided that I would try one more year of training. It was the best decision because I started running in the skyrunning races and the results began to come. From 2014 to last year I ran for a club in Italy, Valetudo and they helped me to improve a lot, year after year. We have achieved many great results like: European Skyrunning Championship, 2nd place in the Livigno Skymarathon, my first victory in the Skyrunning World Series at ZacUp in 2019, 1st place in the Limone Extreme Skyrace – Skymasters Final and many other results. From this year 2020, I am really happy to be part of the Merrell team, Red Bull team, Compressport team and Cébé team and to have their support for achieving my goals in Skyrunning World Series circuit and Golden Trail Series.
