ISACCO AROYO

Born and raised in Milan, Isacco has always lived at the crossroads of sport and entrepreneurship. His journey has taken him through tennis courts, squash courts, and ultimately padel: the discipline in which he has found his truest expression. A natural polyglot, he speaks several languages, and among them, sport is certainly one of the most instinctive.

Within Milan’s padel community, he is one of the most recognized and respected figures, known for his expertise, his openness, and his ability to provide real, practical guidance to anyone looking to approach or grow within the sport. At Padel Zenter Scalo Farini, he is a true point of reference: he embodies the spirit of padel and helps every player find their ideal path: from the right coaches to the right courses, from partners to opponents. One of the defining faces of our center.

JULIAN DI BENE

One of the emerging signatures of international padel, originally from Argentina, Julian stepped onto the court at the age of nine and has since built a steady path of development that allowed him, at a young age, to stand out both as an athlete and as a coach.

With over eight years of teaching experience, Julian has developed a distinctive method defined by attention to detail, strategic vision, and a modern approach that blends intensity, technical elegance, and advanced reading of game dynamics.

His competitive background, highlighted by a FITP best ranking of No. 2 and a FIP best ranking of No. 170, demonstrates a solid technical foundation and a deep understanding of high-level padel.

Today, Julian brings to Padel Zenter Scalo Farini a refined, excellence-driven coaching style, with the goal of elevating every player and turning on-court work into a formative, ambitious, and truly valuable experience.

His training path has been enriched through experience at two major Spanish academies: the Gustavo Pratto Academy and the CEPAC Academy. These experiences allowed him to develop a modern, structured, and highly professional vision of the game.

Francesco plays and teaches with a smile, but with great seriousness. He believes in a sport that promotes well-being, stimulates both body and mind, and truly engages everyone who steps onto the court, regardless of level.

Margherita grew up with tennis, but in 2019 she discovered padel… and it was love at first sight. From that moment, she realized that this sport had something to offer her that she had never felt before. In 2021, she left Abruzzo and moved to Milan, an important decision that allowed her to grow significantly, both as a person and as an athlete.

In just a few years, she climbed the FITP ranking, reaching her best result at no. 40 in the second category, and in 2023 she became the Lombardy Regional Champion, with the goal of climbing even higher today.

With her FITP first-level certification, she brings to the court not only technique and experience, but above all what truly defines her: enthusiasm, energy, and the ability to convey the joy of playing.

CATERINA BRUNAMONTI

Caterina entered the world of sports very early, she was only five years old when she picked up her first racket, without imagining that this simple gesture would shape her future.

She grew up in tennis, competing in national and international tournaments, reaching the Italian 2.5 ranking and an international junior ranking, building a solid technical foundation and a truly competitive mindset.

From 2020 to 2022, she was part of the staff at the Tennis Training School in Foligno, awarded for five consecutive years as the best tennis school in Italy. This was a pivotal experience that allowed her to develop as an instructor and professional, learning what it means to guide athletes of all levels.

In the following years, she discovered a new passion: padel. It was love at first sight, leading her to achieve her best second-category ranking at no. 6 and to obtain the FITP 1st-level Padel Instructor certification, alongside the 2nd-level Tennis Instructor qualification.

Today, Caterina brings together her dual expertise in tennis and padel to offer a complete, technical, and human approach to sport, and she does so in the place that best represents this vision: Padel Zenter Scalo Farini, the new Milanese reference point where she brings passion, professionalism, and the authentic emotion behind every shot, every single day.
