Andrea left his conventional job a decade ago to pursue his passion for skiing. Since then, his motto has been "Poveri Ma Felici" (poor in money but happy), which means no money but big smiles.

Biography
Andrea was born in Liguria in 1990 and now lives and skis in Artesina, Cuneo.

He has been living his dream of skiing every day since deciding to quit his "normal" job around ten years ago. Since then, his motto has been "Poveri Ma Felici" (poor in money but happy), which means no money but big smiles.

Andrea has been proudly skiing on DownSkis for a long time. He has the entire lineup, but his favorite pair is the CD Carbon 114. He has taken them down many big mountain faces around the Western Alps in all kinds of snow. For him, the CD114 is an all-mountain machine for supercharging and going fast. He also uses the SD95 for shredding pistes and the CD Carbon 104 for long tours with couloirs in spring.
When he is not searching for the last snow up in the mountains, he runs an MTB school in Artesina and Prato Nevoso Bike Park with his girlfriend Ilaria and his friend Enrico.

Andrea looks forward to getting down Artesina's best lines with his DOWN skis - especially when the local weather phenomenon Genoa Low ensures fresh powder to enjoy.

So "Genova Love" it is!
