Federico Porta was born in Rome on 19 August 1999 and studied at the Liceo Scientifico Farnesina in the capital.
He comes from a well-known family of bridge players, his father Massimiliano teaches at a club in the capital and his grandfather Alberto (who passed away on January 6, 2021) won the 2001 Senior National Championships and gave rise to the lineage.
Family members have often played together and dad Massimiliano is now his son's favorite companion.
Federico is a World Master, who after winning a couple of placings in the National Youth Championships exploded by winning a youth world title in 2016, the Damiani Trophy, paired with the other son of art Gianmarco Giubilo. Always paired with Gianmarco, he then won silver in the 2017 Youngster Couples World Championships.
