The Italian youngsters are coming strong
Core, Lavarda, Moroni, Caminati, Lavarda, Calibani, Crespi and Manolo are examples of world class climbers from Italy. From a global perspective overall, Italy seems to never have reached Top-5 in the world but this might change with the new generation that are coming very strong.
Tito Traversa, Michael Piccolruaz, Niccolo Ceria, Stefano Ghisolfi, Silvio Reffo, Eva Scroccaro, Stefan Scarperi. More names that could be mentioned :)
