Pure Auronzo stock, Federico has always been a talented athlete and the maverick of our Veneto team. He achieved notable results in alpine skiing, before deciding to change direction to indulge his acrobatic skills, first in freeriding, then in freestyle cliff diving. It's a journey that's led him to the FWQ circuit, where he clinched his first win this year in a one-star event. Ski instructor since 2022.
