There are athletes who leave the sport once their competitive career is over and others who simply change lanes. This is the case of Luca Dotto, guest of Luigi Bianchi at Pitti Uomo 110, who arrives at the Fortezza da Basso at a particularly significant moment in his professional life. After more than twenty years spent in lanes, training and international competitions, the swimmer from Veneto is preparing to say goodbye to competitive sport to open a new chapter yet to be written.
Born in 1990, Dotto was one of the most representative protagonists of Italian swimming of the last fifteen years. His list of achievements includes world and European medals, as well as records that have contributed to redefining Italian speed in freestyle. In 2016 he was the first Italian to dip under 48 seconds in the 100 meters freestyle, a result that established him among the great specialists of the discipline.
Today, however, the horizon is different. The Settecolli of Rome will mark his farewell to competitions, officially closing a career built on discipline, sacrifice and consistency. A passage that Dotto faces without nostalgia, but with the curiosity of someone who is ready to get involved again.
His presence in the Luigi Bianchi space at Pitti Uomo 110 tells precisely about this moment of transition. Not only the meeting between sport and fashion, but also the story of an athlete who chooses to transform the end of a career into the beginning of new adventures. After all, swimming taught him to always look ahead, towards the next lane, and today that lane leads away from swimming pools.
