Hi Giulio, I would like to start our talk remembering the many high points in your career as a bridge player.

A special partnership has born between us and a couple of Polish players thanks to the mediation of the now departed Italo Santià. He was a professional player who played for the Lavazza Team and taught me to play bridge. Read the full story
