Roberto,  a native of Rome, is a Sport & Remedial Massage Practitioner qualified at the London School of Sport Massage in London. Since qualifying in 2005, he has built up his own successful Sports Massage Clinic and worked alongside professionals such as Haile Gebrselassie, Zersenay Tadese, Catherione Nderaba and Tegla Loroupe.

He currently works with the Olympic Athletic Team of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Italian National Ultra Marathon Team. The Two Cities Challenge Team is the obvious progression in his career.

Roberto commented: "When I was offered the opportunity to help the Two Cities Challenge Team to complete this fantastic challenge, I literally jumped out of my chair! My job will be demanding looking after these 11 athletes but I will do my utmost to keep the team motivated. I LOVE CHALLENGES!!"
