Michele Caminati was born in Emilia-Romagna in 1985: sport climbing has always been a passion of his. He is one of Italy's best boulderers and has opened up numerous areas for bouldering, including Ceriola, Lagoni, Pietra del Toro and Monte Amiata. He has managed to repeat some of the toughest boulders at home and abroad, such as the "Never Ending Story 8b+" in Magic Wood or the "Gecko Assis 8b+" in Fountainbleau.
