Born and raised in Rome, he grew up in a family of restaurateurs, naturally following in their footsteps. He began his career in the kitchen while spending his free time exploring the outdoors as a Scout.
As a chef, he worked for Italian firms and renowned U.S. franchises, climbing the ranks from International Trainer to Restaurant Manager. His role took him across Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East, deepening his passion for customer service and cultural exchange.
Massimo discovered road cycling as an essential part of his journey toward a greener lifestyle. Then a close friend introduced him to tour guiding, working with NCAA Basketball teams. He loved sharing Italy’s hidden gems, history, and landscapes, which ultimately led him to Ciclismo Classico, where he now blends his passions for food, history, and Italy’s unique customs.
When not guiding, Massimo enjoys cooking and barbecuing for friends, swing dancing, and of course, cycling the hills north of Rome with his teammates
