My passion for cycling was ignited by my brother and a few friends who had been enthusiasts since childhood. They introduced me to the sport, and I quickly became immersed in a world where I had the privilege of meeting and interacting with professional athletes such as Ignazio Moser, Davide Viganò, and Ivan Cortina, among others.

Eventually, I purchased my own racing bike and began enjoying rides around Milan or joining group outings, even though I wasn’t a professional cyclist. As I continued to connect with others in the cycling community, I became acquainted with race organizers and established myself as a recognized figure in the Fixed Gear scene, both in Italy and internationally, particularly in the United States.

For several years, I worked at cycling events as a photographer and social media manager, supporting race teams sponsored by various brands.

In 2017, I co-founded a cycling team with other athletes, competing internationally in events across Italy, the UK, and South Korea.

In 2018, I left the cycling world to pursue a new career path with Xiaomi. However, the friendships and connections I built during those years remain strong and continue to be an important part of my life.
