Your best match
"The Under-18 championship final of the 2012 season against Fenice Calcio a 5. We won 2-0 and I scored the second goal with a chip."

Your biggest regret
"I don’t have any yet."

Your favourite skill/move
"The volley. I have excellent coordination and, when I the ball comes to me in the air, I do not hesitate to volley it first time. It is my specialty."

The AGLA model that helps with this skill
"The CONDOR model because it grips well to the court surface and has a raised heel rise which provides great stability."

The most effective defensive system
"Man to man because in my opinion it is the easiest."

The best attacking system
"The 3-1 formation with a pivot. The 4-0 attack helps to maintain possession of the ball but I prefer to finish the play immediately."

What do you eat before a match
"Pasta with tomato sauce, less often with a white sauce, a slice of chicken, a piece of bread and a piece of fruit cake."

Your strongest opponent
"Baiocchi who is now my teammate at Acqua & Sapone. We were opponents when I was playing for Paieta. He now plays as a pivot but then he was a defender and really hard to defend."

Your best team-mate
"Montefalcone. For me he is the heir to Mammarella. He is currently the strongest Under-21 goalkeeper around in Italy and, not surprisingly, was awarded best goalkeeper of the competition when we won the Under-18 championship."
A characteristic of a coach
"Must be able to transmit tranquility to the team, know how to select the players and how to deploy them on court."

Favourite shoes
"The CONDOR model. They’re the most beautiful and the most comfortable."

Favourite ball
"The BOLA FUTSAL OFFICIAL, the latest ball from the AGLA range. I like it and it bounces perfectly. There is nothing wrong with it."

Favourite clothing
"The jacket because I was impressed by its colors, and the shorts for leisure because they are comfortable in the summer and I do not like to wear long trousers."

The CONDOR model is equipped with the new technological development AGLA GRIP CONTROL, for absolute grip on court. The upper is made of a nubuck and breathable canvas. The sole uses a new concept of an eva foam ANTI-SHOCK insert, a system designed by AGLA to prevent tendinitis and micro trauma that over time can damage ligaments. It has the brand logo with breathable rubber. The model CONDOR is designed for fast and technical players who like to take to the court with light shoes. HONORIO, FORTINO and DE LUCA have worn the CONDOR model when they were crowned champions at the last Futsal Euro Championships in Antwerp.
