Born in Vallo della Lucania, class 2002, he grew up footballingly in the Nerazzurri youth sector where he won the U16 and U17 championships. In Primavera he collects 42 total appearances with 10 goals and 6 assists, protagonist in the path that in the 2019/20 season brings the team to the quarter-finals of the Uefa Youth League (3 goals in 6 matches).

In the summer of 2021, he moved abroad on loan to Dutch side Volendam: in his first season in the professional ranks he played 35 times and scored 7 goals, contributing to promotion to the Eredivisie. He was also with Volendam the following season to prove himself in the Dutch top flight: he played 27 matches (1 goal and 3 assists) and was one of the architects of salvation.

One of the strong points of the Azzurri youth national team, with whom he has collected more than 30 matches and 7 goals so far, he played with the U17 team in the World Cup in Brazil in 2019. He made his U21 debut in Italy-Luxembourg 3-0 on 6 June 2022.

A natural left-hander, mainly employed as a trequartista, he can also play the role of an attacking flanker. Technique and vision make him an invaluable assist man; his progression with the ball at the foot, his sharp dribbling, and his ability to insert himself allow him to easily reach the conclusion and find the path to goal thanks to a strong and precise shot.
