Finally, he won caps for the Under-18 and Under-19 national teams.
After retirement

His first opportunity came just a few months after, when he officially joined the staff of La Giovane Italia (a portal created by journalist Paolo Ghisoni to promote young talents from all over Italy) and took over their YouTube channel.[8]
