Manolo is one of the first Italian free climber who became world-famous very young for his free solo ascents in the Dolomites. He is the first Italian ever to climb a route of the grade 8b in 1986 and of grade 8a in free solo on "Masala Dosa" on the wall of "San Silvestro" in 1992. He never took part to climbing competitions and contests.
In 1981, with another climber, Alessandro Gogna, he climbed the Aguglia of Goloritzè in Sardinia, initiating the original development of the Selvaggio Blu trekking route.
