— Who is someone you admire and why?
The person I admire most, I think, is my grandfather Francesco. Unfortunately, during COVID, he passed away. I’ve had so many good times with him, and he’s always been my mentor. Since I was little, I loved to ask him about his story and his family– he was the youngest of seven brothers, and he was born in the period immediately after the war, so he lived in difficult conditions. Despite this, he managed to always reach his goals, like opening his company and getting everyone to love him.

— What are three interesting facts about you?
1. I played football in a professional team until I was seventeen. I stopped playing during covid because I thought I couldn’t live off it in the future, and I spent around three hours a day playing football, so I decided to stop and focus on school.

2. I love cooking for myself and friends. I started cooking alone when I was around twelve years old. Obviously, at the beginning, the results weren’t very good, but now I consider myself a decent cook.

3. I also love to travel. As soon as I have the opportunity, I try to exploit it. I truly believe it is the best personal investment that everyone can make.


— The most interesting thing about your family:

Even though my last name sounds like I’m completely Italian, actually, the only Italian relative that I have is my grandfather. In fact, my mother is Lithuanian, while my dad was born in Germany because my grandmother is German. Of course, I feel Italian because I was born there and I have lived all my life in Italy, but it’s really nice being a mix of different cultures.
