Born in 1972 in Monfalcone, he is a teacher and has been a mountain enthusiast all his life. He started since he was a child with easy walks, progressing later to via ferratas and sports climbing. He climbed many of the routes with pen and notebook: his publications include the Quarto Grado (www.quartogrado.com) website and four guidebooks dedicated to the Dolomites classic climbing and two dedicated to the Friulan mountain.

As sports climber, despite his modest technical abilities, has bolted a good number of new mid-grade routes or re-bolted old routes in Sistiana and Aurisina crags.
