Alessandro Idini

The athlete
Alessandro Idini

Legend has it that he once capsized with the kayak, but the boys who train with him find it hard to believe. In canoe polo, he’s a force of nature, accelerating, braking, and turning with embarrassing ease. When he has a ball in his hands, he turns 20 years younger. Don’t be fooled by the fact that he’s no longer a youngster: if he were to tow you, you better buckle up!
