Biography

He has jumping in his blood and skates to make dreams race. He began as a child with ice hockey, but at the age of eight he was captivated by figure skating after attending the Merano Cup in his hometown with his mother. Excelling has always come naturally to him, and he soon began collecting victories at a local club under the guidance of Ludmila Mladenova. After a few years, he moved to Egna to work with Lorenzo Magri and the Young Goose Academy.

At just 15 (December 2017), he became the youngest skater ever to land a quadruple Lutz in international competition, achieved in the free skate at the Golden Spin of Zagreb. Bronze medallist at the 2019 Junior World Championships, he went on to win European silver in Tallinn in 2022, matching icons such as Samuel Contesti and Carlo Fassi. In 2025, he contributed to Italy’s historic bronze at the World Team Trophy. Off the ice he practises classical dance, which helps his skating, enjoys playing tennis with his father and sister, and manages his own social media channels. At Milano Cortina, the enfant prodige is ready to grow even bigger.
