Biography

If you are from Recco, it is almost certain that you will end up in the pool playing water polo. This is what happened to Niccolò too. He has also continued to keep the tradition of his city alive in the sport that made it famous. He started during elementary school in Camogli, then became accomplished in Pro Recco where he won everything (11 championships, 10 Italian Cups, 1 Super Cup, 1 Champions League). With Settebello, he has already experienced the thrill of being on top of the world in Shanghai 2011, and he repeated it in Gwangju 2019 with another gold medal around his neck. While he is still without Olympic participation to date, Tokyo will be the icing on the cake of his career.
