| − | Third of a family of five boys, Paolo dreams first to become a truck driver, as his father was at that time (he skips school merrily to accompany him on his trips across France and all over Europe and he draws a true passion for the trucks which enlivens him even today), then he discovers Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke (Luke the cold hand, film made in 1967, to see absolutely, and not only for the mythical scene of the eggs!!!) and he tells himself that it is that that he wants to do. But his two elder brothers are into boxing (they became champions in Italy) and it is very natural that Paolo follows their traces.

| − | In fact, he doesn't content himself to follow, he lines victories up: 17 by K0 and 20 in points against just 3 null and 2 defeats on a total of 42 matches! He wins for the first time the amateur championship of Italy at 14 years old and is part of the national team during almost four years in the course of which he wins the title three times. But contrary to his brothers, he doesn't feel he's made for this. The ring, for him, is first of all a stage and a way to occur before an audience...
