al·loch·tho·nous (ə-lŏk′thə-nəs) describes an organism that originates from a place different to where it is found.

Born and raised on the Italian peninsula Leonardo Fioravanti is most commonly found in places and situations that some might deem unusual for an Italian.

Originally from the city of Rome, Leo's determination and focus has seen him forge a way into professional surfing. After a serious back injury during the Volcom Pipeline Pro 2015, Leonardo is back and more motivated than ever to finish what he started in 2015.
