About Luca:
What course are you studying and what level?
MPhil History of Art and Architecture
Why did you chose that course?
Wasn’t ready to leave Cambridge, and I thought it would make a refreshing change from Classics. Plus I want to feel superior to people in art galleries.
When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?
Started at Lea RC in Hackney in 2017, because my dad thought I might be good at it.
What was your first rowing club and coach?
Mark Cushway at Lea RC
How has rowing and being part of the Boat Race squad impacted your life?
Has changed my life completely – I think it’s given me purpose over the last few years at a time when I otherwise might’ve been directionless
If you weren’t a rower, what sport do you think you’d excel at?
Competitive eating
What is your favourite non-academic book?
Sombrero Fallout by Richard Brautigan
