Andrea De Beni

My name is Andrea De Beni, and I’m 46 years old… per leg. The math is simple: just multiply 46 by one. That’s usually how I introduce myself on stage - just swap the year - and I do it knowing that self-deprecating humor can be one of the most serious ways to talk about life’s big topics. I’m from Turin, born in 1979, married to Raffaella, and dad to Miriam, Tea, and Emilia Chiara. Professionally, I define myself in the world of communication and training. I was born with a congenital malformation of my right femur. I’ve always walked, run, and jumped on one leg and a prosthetic. The “first version of Andrea” - trapped between shame and embarrassment - gradually gave way, thanks to inclusive sports and personal growth, to the Andrea you see today: an active, positive participant in life; a behavioral and emotional activist; a coach; a trainer; a multimedia communicator; and a motivational speaker.
