In freestyle, everything is calculated down to the finest detail, but I love it when people can’t believe it, when they look at me admiringly, thinking it's all a matter of balance and good luck.
Born in Bologna, Alessandro Cattani has built up a wealth of experience and passion in his work as a freestyle bartender.
