Other information REPRESENTING ARGENTINA
He was born in San Francisco, CA, United States of America, and represented his country of birth at junior level. He was approached by an Argentinian official at age 13, and chose to switch allegiances due to his family's history in the sport representing Argentina. "I do not know why but I felt as if this was my destiny and I could not let this opportunity pass. I also decided to switch nationalities because I am the fifth generation of Lucchettis in fencing. My ancestors won an Olympic medal [in 1928], they inspired me to continue my family's fencing tradition in Argentina."
