My life adventure.

Dream, work, adapt.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way”


From the beginning …

1988

I am born on December 3rd in the small town of Negrar, Italy.


1995

I get scouted by Giorgio Armani in Milan and begin my modelling career. 

My passion for training originates here, with swimming and trail running.


2007

I move to London to study Mechanical Engineering at University College London

Still modelling for Giorgio Armani, and at Milan Fashion Week. 

The endurance years, trail running on the Alps, cross country running at UCL, and my first gym membership. 


2010

I complete my degree in Mechanical Engineering at UCL with first class honours and the award for most outstanding achievement within the faculty of Engineering. 

I start my PhD in computational and thermo-fluid design of large last stage turbine blades, sponsored by Hitachi of Japan.

My first year as a teacher of Mathematical Modelling and Analysis and tutor of Computing in the UCL department of Mechanical Engineering.

My first of three Abercrombie and Fitch campaigns shot by Bruce Weber. Still walking for Armani.

The years of triathlon, winter swimming and strength training. 


2014

I submit my PhD thesis, title “An Inverse Design Methodology for Long Last-Stage Steam Turbine Blades”.

I become main lecturer of Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, and teaching assistant in the thermodynamics course of the Engineering Masters degree. 

I model the first of six Emporio Armani EA7 campaigns, and an Equinox campaign shot by Rankin.

More strength training leads to winning the WBFF European fitness pro model title at the O2 Arena in London. 


2015

I join Instagram. A Facebook post of one of my students goes viral. 

I am still lecturing at UCL and modelling.

After years of endurance training combined with resistance, I switch completely to strength training.

I get awarded my PhD.

My first year with millions of followers, new modelling opportunities, and a new YouTube channel.
