"In ultracycling, it's not just about pedaling. As both a Crew Chief and an athlete, I've learned that the real challenge is mental: coordinating a team for 5,000 km across the United States or conquering 4,000 meters of altitude in the Andes requires the exact same precision and determination I apply to web development every single day."
My professional career started in the IT world over twenty years ago. My path is rooted in the technical management of Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems, later evolving into pure web development. As a Web Designer, I started writing code "by hand", a skill that today allows me to master site structure far beyond aesthetics.
With the adoption of CMS like WordPress, I specialized in creating dynamic and SEO-optimized platforms. Today I combine these technical skills with digital strategy and Social Media Management, offering innovative solutions with a particular focus on the outdoor and sports sector.
From Technology to Extreme Challenges in Ultracycling
After 15 years in soccer, in 2013 I discovered my passion for amateur cycling and ultracycling. In this extreme discipline, which requires extraordinary physical and mental endurance, I found my balance, learning to pedal non-stop day and night to cover incredible distances in the shortest possible time.
In 2020 I conceived and organized the GINS (Giro dβItalia No-Stop), a monumental feat of 4,000 km and 55,000 meters of elevation gain, representing one of the peaks of ultracycling in Italy today. This organizational streak stems from my experience as President of the "100 Anni in bici" and "Go Solo", where I managed Granfondos, cyclocross, and MTB races.
Race Across America and the Crew Chief Experience
My bond with international competitions was solidified with the Race Across America (RAAM). As Crew Chief, I coordinate the support team assisting the athlete in the ocean-to-ocean crossing of the United States. In 2017, I led the team in the Race Across The West, achieving a historic first place with the first Italian athlete winner in this category. Discover all the official RAAM results.
Everesting and Challenges in South America
In 2018 I completed an Everesting in Rimini, climbing 8,848 meters of elevation by repeating the same ascent 42 times. In the same year, I tackled the Andes during the IncaDivide in Peru, ranking fourth overall after covering 1,600 km at extreme altitudes in just 6 days.
Bike Manager and Cycling Guide in Rimini
I currently hold the position of Bike Manager at the Oxygen Cycling Hotel in Viserbella di Rimini. I operate as a professional cycling guide for tour operators and hotels, putting my knowledge of the Romagna territory at your disposal.
I am an expert connoisseur of road and MTB routes, with a special passion for the Gravel world, exploring dirt roads and tracks. My mission is to combine the technical precision of Web Design with the freedom of cycling, offering a unique professional experience.
