Born in 1997 in Campobasso, he however grew up in Agnone before joining Monza’s youth academy. Initially in football, he picked up volleyball at 16 and immediately made his mark, helping Agnone earn promotion from the Serie C. Then he spent two years in the B2 division with the same club. He impressed Monza and joined the first team in a camp last season, training alongside the stars of the SuperLega before playing in the youth leagues in the B2 and the Junior League.

I followed that advice and I am convinced I won’t regret it”.
