Adriano Sisti, 27 January 1988

 

Son of Tiziana and Benedetto, himself a karting driver at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. He was born in Cassino (FR) and then grew up moving between his hometown and nearby Aquino (the city where his father lives after the separation, which happens when Adriano is still very small). Thanks to his father's motoring passion, Adriano has been living with his engines since his first year of life, despite his mother Tiziana trying to raise him in the football environment. Since he was a child he has always used the number 31, even in the years in which he had the opportunity to show off the number 1 winner in single or championship events, since this was the number he was most attached to, both because it was the date of birth of his grandfather (Benedetto), both later used by a Japanese pilot of whom he was very passionate, Tetsuya Harada; from the latter Sisti drew inspiration and desire to pursue a career as a driver, giving up many possibilities, one in all in 1999, the year in which he was selected by the Juventus FC football team to enter his talent pool.
