Who are you, and what do you do? Tell us a bit about yourself.

I am Giulio Molinari, a professional Italian triathlete specializing in long-distance events: 70.3, Ironman, and Extreme Ironman. A few years ago, I founded the Giulio Molinari Triathlon Academy, where I coach and train amateur athletes throughout the year and organize summer training camps in Livigno. Since 2018, I’ve had the honor of being part of the Santini family.

What is your favourite place to train, and what makes it special for you?

My favorite place to train is Livigno, an open-air gym like no other. Between summer and winter, Livigno transforms completely, offering endless opportunities to train and practice a wide variety of sports at a high level, thanks in part to Aquagranda.

What is your favourite Santini item, and why?

My favorite Santini garment is undoubtedly the VIPER triathlon race suit. I feel a deep connection to this piece because I was involved in its development, fine-tuning, and eventual release. I consider it the best race trisuit I’ve ever used, both in terms of performance and comfort.

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for winter?

For winter training, my top choice is the VEGA+ winter jacket. Training frequently in Livigno’s freezing temperatures, this jacket keeps me warm, dry, and highly visible thanks to the orange color I personally selected.

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for summer?

In summer, my go-to Santini piece is the UNICO+ bib shorts. They feel like a second skin, offering exceptional breathability, and the C3 chamois is perfect even for the longest, most challenging rides.
