Daniele started practicing shooting at the "Tav Latina" club in 1999 and now he is one of the top performers of the Fiamme Oro police shooting sports group. He has won many trophies, including seven European titles and three world championships.

He took up shooting at the age of 15 following in his father's footsteps, who passed him his passion for this sport on to his son. Since 1993 he has specialized in double trap, and now is ranked among the world's top athletes.

The key to this sport are focus and concentration, as the first opponent to beat is the shooter himself/herself.

Good visual contact with the target, instinct and speed of execution are the three fundamental characteristics of a double trap specialist.

Daniele loves leading a peaceful life, dedicating his time to workouts and his family. His wife Elisa and his son David are his best fans.
