Experienced ski instructor, specialising in beginners and known for a patient, calm, and supportive approach
I was born in Rome and lived there for many years before moving to Verona. I began skiing at 7 years old in the Apennines of central Italy and later in the Alps. Over the course of 45 years, I have taught in many resorts across central Italy (Terminillo, Abetone), northern Italy (Stelvio, Tonale, Folgaria), and France (Les Arcs, Vallandry, Megève, Flaine). Away from the slopes, I enjoy travelling, restoring vintage motorcycles, and listening to the radio and music.
While I adapt to all levels, I have a particular gift for supporting beginners. One memorable experience was in Vallandry, where I worked with a young boy with autism. After speaking with his mother, we started the lesson, and it was wonderful to see his confidence grow both in himself and in me. His hug at the end of the session was a clear sign of his joy and progress. We later spoke again by video call, which remains a treasured memory.
My teaching style is calm, supportive, and tailored to each skier. With adults, I focus on finding the right exercises to overcome long-standing obstacles, helping them to gain confidence and ski with greater ease and safety. With children, I combine technical learning with fun, building both skills and self-belief, and inspiring them to return and continue improving. Whether working with beginners on their first turns or helping experienced skiers refine their technique, my aim is always to create a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable learning experience.
