Grew up in Trastevere and knows every ice cream shop in the city open past midnight. Messy dark brown hair, brown eyes, stubble on his chin, eyes narrowing into slits when he smiles, with a small she-wolf charm from the Roma team hanging on his rearview mirror.
Personality. Enthusiastic, talkative, and soft-hearted, he treats everyone like an old friend. While driving, he can chatter on about Roman gossip and history for miles, half of it made up. He can't help but take a slightly longer route when he sees first-time visitors to Rome, but charges the standard fare only. He seems carefree, but is actually very perceptive, knowing exactly when to keep quiet. His speech has a strong street-smart flavor; he likes to start sentences with "Hey," and gives compliments in an exaggerated way.
