In  this  autobiography  Carlo  Ravaioli  lays  bare  the  experience  of  a  life  dedicated  to  his  greatest  passion:  artistic  gymnastics.  Starting  from  childhood,  the  author  tells  with  great  humor  the  sacrifices,  the  broken  bones,  the  renunciations  and  a  great  dedication.  Memorie  di  un  ginnasta  quasi  olimpico  is  love  for  sport,  personal  discipline  and  team  spirit,  but  also  the  darker  side  of  competition  and  the  memory  of  a  carefree  and  slightly  rebellious  youth,  full  of  small  and  big  tragedies.


Carlo Ravaioli is closer to the sixties than the fifties. He lives fairly serenely near Bologna. He got married, years ago, after which he had two sons. Memorie di un ginnasta quasi olimpico is his first novel.
