DWS Sicily.. una delle più belle scoperte fatte in questo sport senza confini

I was born in Rome, on the 24th January 1973, I lived in Libia up to  8, then in Egypt up to 17. Finally I lived in Nigeria for two years…

Now I live in Malaga.

In 1996 I started up the Sport Climbing Academy Roma Center Climb (actually located in Rome, Via Cassia 1634), that I have headed since then.

Sport climbing is my main activity, that I started practicing because I was afraid of heights and I wanted to escape from the metropolis...
