Other information OTHER ACTIVITIES
In 2018 he founded an international fencing camp in Italy called Future Champions Camp along with his father Salvo and his younger brother Daniele. "I got the idea for the Future Champions Academy in 2018. I was working in a camp in Italy, where I was one of the athletes helping to train young, up-and-coming fencers. It was a good camp but it was missing something. People would come for a few days, then they'd go home. And I thought, there is so much promise here. I wanted to share something of value with these young athletes, to create a real, long-term relationship, not just a short-term business relationship."
