Andrea is our “Big Boss”. Founder of the aTUTTA! project, Andrea has always been involved in competitive sport – both as an athlete and as a coach.  After winning the Italian swimming championships in 2000, he was able to take on other challenges by training Luca (also a member of the aTUTTA! family), who became the Italian cycling champion in 2005.

Marco

Qualification: The Bike Manager
Nickname: Coach
Spoken languages: Italian, French, English, Ligurian dialect
Trivia: prefers footage of years gone by over Netflix

Do you have any questions, concerns, or are just curious about the routes in our area? Ask Marco.  Want to know who won the Giro in 1984? Again, ask Marco. Marco is our Bike Manager, and cycles over 20000 kilometres a year, and who of an evening prefers to watch videos on the history of cycling than the latest tv series. He knows everyone in the Riviera, and everyone knows him: riding with Marco makes you feel like a local.
