But as a typical italian lad, Enrico's first passion had always been Calcio, also known as Soccer by the barbarians of his new town. A talented midfielder, Enrico was able to choose between different universities that offered him scholarships. Raised in a deeply catholic environment, it was his parent's hope he would choose to enter Georgetown, and maybe continue into a Seminar. In a fit of teenage rebellion, Enrico enrolled into the University of Pennsylvania, a secular institution.
