Luca and Francesco Bortolotti

italy

Luca and Francesco are father and son, both passionate about paragliding. Luca is a talented tandem pilot, and first took Francesco into the sky when he was just two and a half years old. It certainly ignited a fire in him – Francesco's first drawing was a paraglider! Luca has always loved sports and the mountains. His passion for paragliding began in 2009 and grew rapidly – he turned pro after three years and has never looked back! When not flying tandem, Luca enjoys XC, hike-and-fly, acro and paramotoring . From the age of five Francesco has spent time at the landing field with his dad, and put in many hours of groundhandling. His talents have been clear to everyone. The interminable wait to turn 16, which is the age at which he can get his flying license in Italy, was finally over in February 2026. Now we just watch as the butterfly emerges!
