"It seems like a dream to me, I have to metabolize it", said the young dancer who overturned all the predictions of the eve. “I thank all the people who work here, all the professionals, my coach Raimondo Todaro, the professors, the judges and all the people who have allowed this. It is thanks to them that I raised this cup. Thank you all for the support." Then addressing Maria De Filippi directly, he said: “Thanks to you because you changed my life: I arrived here when I was 17 years old.
