I was born on May 21st 1968 in Trieste, Italy, where I still reside
(when I'm not travelling around the world).

I'm single at the moment, only one would be too many at the moment.

I quit high school in my third year because I wanted to be a plumber.

|
I'm self-centred...
first I think of my self, but women come a close second.

My ideal woman: young, sweet, friendly, intelligent, 89/59/89,
she can climb an 8c, can stand the cold and... practically impossible.

I'm 172 cm tall, my weight shifts from 67 to 70 kilos. It's not a good height-weight
ratio for a climber, but muscles do tend to way a lot.

I eat everything, from Nutella to Mayonnaise.

My Grandfather was a fisherman, and so I love eating fish.

I never say no to a drink with friends.
|

I speak the Triestine dialect, I'm learning Italian and try to
communicate in English.

For a period I was part of the national freestyle team - speciality,
humps - but I was too slow, thought too much about my style and not
about my speed.

I started skiing at 4 years of age, then I did gymnastics, karate and then started to climb.

I have a great passion for wind surfing, waves and wind - a perfect combination. > images

For some years now, I've been asking myself if the mountains are a passion or simply a means to a...

I need to listen to music, especially U2.
|
|

I don't smoke and can't stand people who smoke near me.

Mountaineering has taught me something very important: "respect for those who have already
passed". |

I don't know what it is to feel envy and I never will.
|
|
|
|
Every now and then I get a bit pissed off, but I never lose control.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm always spontaneous... sometimes a bit too much.
|
|
 |
|
Accidents in the mountains have taught me to listen... and above all, to give up.

One day I'll write a book, I won't speak of levels, but of emotions,
fears, feelings, internal battles, victories and defeats...

To do more maybe I should be more "serious" but it's getting harder and
harder as the years go by. |

The most difficult wall to climb is "my relationship with other climbers".

Seeing
that my passion for the art of climbing is becoming a
profession, or rather, a life choice, or maybe just a normal personal
evolution, I have decided to create this site to let those who are
interested know something about my climbing activities: past and
present.
As for the future, I'll keep that secret for the moment.
In
all these years, besides my strong personal reasons for discovering
more... I have been lucky along the way to find companions and friends who
have believed in me and what I wanted to achieve.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone. It's thanks to you that I can show images
of all those small adventures. |
