About Me
I was a highly competitive junior player in Italy, competing at national level and in Tennis Europe (ETA) events while training under some of the country’s most respected coaches, including former ATP professionals Giorgio Galimberti, Igor Gaudi, and Stefano Galvani. I also spent a season training within the Riccardo Piatti system, gaining exposure to the methodology of one of the world’s most renowned coaches, best known for developing Jannik Sinner.
My tennis journey later took me abroad, where I combined competitive tennis with academics at Lancaster University in the UK, the University of Toronto in Canada, and later the London School of Economics (LSE). I represented university teams and contributed to championship-winning seasons, while gaining valuable international experience on and off the court.
These experiences shaped my coaching philosophy, combining high-performance tennis, professionalism, adaptability, and a player-centered approach. Outside tennis, I am passionate about fitness, travel, technology, and continuous learning.
Experience
I currently divide my coaching time between my local performance club in Italy and the Galimberti Tennis Academy. At my local club, I work closely with several competitive juniors, including three ITF-level players, one of whom represents San Marino in Davis Cup competition. The club has also produced top-level players such as WTA professional Lucia Bronzetti and former ATP player and Next Gen Finals participant Christian Carli, both of whom I trained and practiced alongside during my development years.
At the Galimberti Tennis Academy, where I also trained as a junior, I work with players ranging from nationally ranked juniors to ATP Challenger Tour athletes, gaining daily exposure to a high-performance training environment.
Alongside my playing career, I began coaching during my university years and continued throughout my professional career in business and management. Over the years, I have delivered private lessons, group sessions, and performance coaching to players of all ages and levels, combining technical development, tactical understanding, and a professional approach shaped by both elite sport and international experience.
