Biography

A crystal-clear talent from Manerba del Garda, his palmarès includes five medals at Junior World Championships, among them gold in the super-G at Bansko 2021 and golds in downhill and combined at Panorama 2022. A skier whose driving forces are hunger to emerge and versatility, in 2021 he also made his senior World Championship debut, producing a solid 14th place in the giant slalom in Cortina. He grew through the “purgatory” of the Europa Cup, winning the overall title in 2022 and, in the same year, also topping the super-G standings. After the first World Cup podium of his career (third on 19 December 2025 in the Val Gardena super-G), he established himself in World Cup skiing in January 2026, when he took the crown at two temples such as Wengen (super-G) and Kitzbühel (downhill), sealing his first two victories on the White Circus. In between came another third place, again in downhill at Wengen.

His passion for music is broad, but he has a particular preference for Italian or American rap/trap. For holidays he almost always chooses the sea, where he loves spending his days between kitesurfing, surfing and wakeboarding. Milano Cortina is “judgement day” and he wants to arrive there fired up enough to go all-in.
