Professional trail runner for Hoka – Enervit

Physics graduate

Based in Como (ITA), living everywhere

Born January 26th, 1992 and still growing up.

I live near the shores of Lake Como, nestled in the Italian Alps—a playground of endless variety, from rugged trails to smooth tarmac. It’s a place where beautiful mountains, iconic races, and great training conditions come together.

This environment has shaped my unique #AnySurfaceAvailable approach, which is about running fast and moving with agility across any terrain, no matter the challenge.

My goal is simple: to become the best version of myself while contributing something meaningful to the sport of trail and mountain running. I’m driven by the desire to create better opportunities for the athletes who will follow, helping to elevate the sport for generations to come.

In 2022 I co-founded the Pro Trail Runners Association with Kilian Jornet and Pascal Egli. Today, it counts over 270 athletes among the best of our sport.
