ROME – “Horse riding is not my world, but thanks to my family I am becoming passionate about it”. Mattia Stanga is a regular guest at this edition of Piazza di Siena to cheer on his sister, Giulia, competing for the first time in the horse show on the Villa Borghese Oval. “Horse riding is a wonderful sport – begins the content creator with three million followers on Tik Tok -. I often go to see Giulia, this time I jumped at the opportunity to spend four days in a beautiful place like Piazza di Siena”. Even as a simple spectator, Mattia got an idea of how the scenario in which the event takes place is unique in the panorama of equestrian sports and beyond: “It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen when traveling for competitions, probably the most beautiful, but I have to see others too. Give me a few years and I can confirm it for you.” However, he too agrees with the definition that everyone now gives to Piazza di Siena: “They’re right, it’s a bit like being at Wimbledon”. And even if her sister missed the final by a whisker (she finished sixth), the satisfaction for these days is immense: “It was her first time here, maybe not having immediately finished ahead of her will motivate her to do even better . I always root for her, next time she will do even better.”
What has made Mattia Stanga famous, among the TikTokers with the most following among very young people and not only, is the ability to interpret dozens, hundreds of the most disparate characters, from the classic furious mother with her son to the motorist stuck in traffic. Piazza di Siena seems to have given him the inspiration for new videos: “I could be the father who goes to see his daughter on horseback, but also the coach or simply someone who pretends to be an expert. Now I’ll start practicing, soon you’ll see them on my channels.”
