Hello, my name is Vittorio and I describe myself as a sunny and curious person. Since I was young, I have always enjoyed challenges and learning new things. I love traveling and as a good Italian, two of my greatest passions are food and soccer!

I graduated in Environmental Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, where I will also get my Master's degree in Mobility Engineering.

At UCLA I am mainly working on my thesis, but also on my academic and personal growth. At the end of my visit and completion of thesis, I look forward to future opportunities and adventures.
