To learn German, Giulio, who was born in Italy, spent a year at a high school in Greifswald when he was 17. "I wanted to catch up on what I had unfortunately not learned as the child of a German-speaking Swiss mother," he says. However, he says, half of the exchange students at the time were from Central America. "And since I like to talk to everyone and they mostly didn't know English that well, I went back home after the year especially with a good knowledge of Spanish."
After the exchange and his high school diploma in Milan, Giulio first studied engineering at the Politecnico in Milan for a year and then transferred to ETH Zurich to earn a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and information technology. When he's not working, he's gathering information about his favorite club in Milan - and above all, he's on the soccer field himself. "I also ride a road bike and ski and go to the gym, but soccer is my clear No. 1," he says.
Everywhere he has lived so far, he has also played soccer, now for three years for SC Wipkingen Zurich in the 3rd league. Giulio has now been part of the Swiss GAMBIT team since spring 2022, but still wants to continue his academic education in the future. "My goal is to do a part-time master's in management in some time - preferably directly in Paris to learn French as well!"
