Biography

Franco-Italian of Piedmont origin, he is the cornerstone of Settebello. He knew how to adapt to the needs of the team by giving his contribution both in attack and in defence. He won 8 championships in Marseille, the team of the city where he grew up, then moved to Italy, playing in Brescia and Pro Recco, where he continued to add trophies to his trophy case and discovered his passion for pesto. Captain of the French national team until 2015, he then sought and obtained Italian citizenship, and left for Rio with a blue cap. Music being his second love, he plays drums and bass, and in Marseille he had a place where he organised events and discovered emerging talents. He is now busy as a music producer, but above all, as a father of Mathis. Meanwhile, however, he wants to give everything to water polo, always aiming for the maximum.
