🇮🇹 10 days. One incredible experience.

This July, we had the opportunity to do something truly special: collaborate with one of the best fencing clubs in the world, Circolo Scherma FIDES Livorno, to create a unique training experience in Tirrenia, in the heart of Tuscany.

We brought together fencers from around the world to share ideas, visions, training sessions, and an incredible experience.

What came from it was one of the most amazing training experiences we’ve ever been part of: an Olympic training center with pristine facilities, Olympians, National Team members, National Champions from Senior to Y12, and incredibly talented, high-level training partners.

World-class coaching. Strength & Conditioning. Mental Preparation. And two excursions to some of the most iconic historical sites in the world.

The only thing we can say is THANK YOU.

Thank you to our fencers who joined us on the other side of the world for 10 incredible days of training, and to their families for entrusting us with their kids and taking advantage of the opportunity to enjoy some Italian dolce vita. 🌅

Thank you to all the fencers from around the world who participated. It was a true privilege to work together and share this experience. ✨

And thank you to the incredible coaching and support staff who made it possible: Nicola Zanotti, Marco Ciari, Ilaria Bianco, Enrico Berre’, Vladimir Gotsev, Leonardo Tomer, Irene Vecchi OLY, Bhavani Devi OLY, Leonardo Dreossi, Edoardo Cantini, S&C Coach Renato Burani, Neuropsychologist Dr. Angelo Carnemolla, Armorer Alessandro Burchielli, and everyone else who contributed to making this camp truly incredible.

We’re incredibly grateful for this experience. ☀️🤺🌊

And we’re already working on the next collab! 🇮🇹🤺 taken in Centro di Preparazione Olimpica di Tirrenia by @mattee_gallo
