1 – Tell us a bit about yourself
I come from the Aosta Valley, where I have lived my entire life. I have been working as a firefighter and ski instructor since 2002. I love the mountains, the sea, and any sport that gets my adrenaline pumping!

Without a doubt, skiing! I love the freedom and excitement it gives, and I wish I could ski every day of the year.

3 – What is your favorite place to explore?
My favorite place to explore is the next one—the one I still have to discover. Every outing is a new adventure and every summit a surprise!

4 – Why did you decide to become a RedElk Ambassador?
Luca Polo and I were among the first to introduce Speedriding in Italy and in the Aosta Valley. In a sport like this, as in skiing, technical clothing is essential: it guarantees comfort, freedom of movement, and sweat management. In 2015, RedElk contacted me to test and improve their products. After meeting Luca Colombo, CEO of RedElk—a young entrepreneur with very clear ideas but, above all, an athlete—we started this adventure, and more than 10 years later we are still here collaborating with enthusiasm.

5 – In what way do you feel close to the RedElk philosophy?
I feel very close to RedElk’s green philosophy, from their research into eco-sustainable materials to their presence as members of EOCA and their respect for the environment even in small details, such as the recyclable and biodegradable packaging used for each product.

7 – Would you like to share a special memory related to RedElk apparel?
I will never forget the first shell jacket I was given: we were probably among the first testers and our feedback was used in the following models. It was exciting to contribute to the growth of the brand!

Take it step by step and, if possible, rely on a professional. It’s the best way to learn safely and enjoy every experience.
