Before starting high school, I attended the school in my hometown, Lama Mocogno, a small mountain village in the province of Modena (Italy). During my studies, I received twice (in 2008 and in 2010) a grant by the local Lions Club for the achieved results, I reached the 7th place in the Italian finals of the Mathematical Kangaroo in 2005, and I qualified for the Italian finals of the International Competition for Mathematical and Logical Games at the Bocconi University in Milan in 2007. I also worked as a translator at C.M.F. Technology S.p.A. (between 2011 and 2015), manufacturer of machinery for the ceramic industry in Pavullo nel Frignano, then as a waiter and bartender for La Vecchia Scuola (from 2018 to 2022), traditional restaurant and pizzeria in Lama Mocogno. I play alto clarinet (previously Eb clarinet) in the band of my village since 2014 and I was also its president from 2016 to 2022.
