ar. Davide Catalano
Born in 1981, named CATA, originally from the province of Varese, but from a Trapanese father.
He started climbing in 2003 in the LEZARD, a small country climbing wall, in the years when bouldering began to go very well in Italy, and it was love at first sight.

But he does not disdain rope climbing, that is part of his business because for 15 years he has worked at height, first in Northern Italy with the "Soluzioni Verticali" company (that he founded with two friends) and then in Sicily, where he has been specialized in the training field.
The passion for travel has taken him all over the world, but the call of his Sicilian roots, and of the sunny rock walls by the sea in 2014 led him to leave Northern Italy to settle in the deep South.
