Biography
He is the man to beat in the Italian cross-country skiing team. He bagged a gold medal in the sprint in Lahti in 2017, 10 years after the last Italian men’s world triumph (Sapporo 2007) by Zorzi-Pasini in the team sprint. He made history in 2016, becoming the first non-Scandinavian to win the World Cup sprint and the most successful Italian athlete with 9 wins. Mom Maricla, social worker, and dad Enrico, electrician, have always believed in him, 'Chicco', the perfectionist, who wins with his head and cuddles Greta Laurent, to whom he is engaged. As a teenager he loved playing soccer and was the acclaimed percussionist of his town band. Today his music is law. On the trail.
