The 29-year-old Apulian athlete triumphs in the race that in 1980 crowned Maurizio Damilano in Moscow and in 2004 awarded Ivano Brugnetti in Athens. With the exploits of the Fiamme Oro athlete, the blue march returns to the top step of the podium 13 years after Alex Schwazer’s victory in the 50 km of Beijing 2008. Stano, who grew up in Palo del Colle (Bari), has come close to athletics in 2003 practicing middle distance but in 2006 he chose the gear under the guidance of Giovanni Zaccheo also on the Molfetta track. As Fidal recalls, the first acute arrives in 2013; fourth in the 20 km race at the under 23 European Championships in Tampere, but later came the bronze for the disqualification of the Russian Bogatyrev. In October, the turning point with the transfer Sesto San Giovanni (Milan) to be followed by the former Azzurri fan Alessandro Gandellini. The path is complicated by a series of injuries, microfracture to the right tibia in the spring of 2015 and to the left one in 2016. Then, the passage in the group of the coach Patrizio Parcesepe in Castelporziano. In March 2018 the rebirth: he returns to win an Italian title on the 20 km improving by over a minute, then the third place in the Team World Cup with silver for team and fourth place at the European Championships in Berlin, just one second from the podium. Establishes the Italian record in June 2019 with 1h17: 45 in La Coruna. In 2021, after a stop due to periostitis, he returned with eighth place at the European Team Championships. In 2016 he married Fatima Lotfi, a former middle distance runner, then she too switched to the march. In February, Sophie is born, to whom Stano dedicates the triumph of Tokyo. The new Olympic champion has a diploma as a commercial computer programmer. The federation profile describes him as a fan of Japanese culture: from today, the bond with the Japanese country is even stronger.
