He worked on with Fausto Capellini, a P.E. teacher at a local junior high school in Cremona about this project and in 2004 he theorized the sport game. It was a simple yet ingenious idea: a sport clearly inspired by basketball but with modified rules that allow anyone to take part in the game in a meaningful way. In 2006, he founded the Baskin Association and since then he is the President. He, Fausto Cappellini, and Magnanini wrote a Book edited by Franco Angeli “Baskin a sport for all”. He trains Baskin coaches and trainers and is constantly developing the learning and training activities on Baskin for the educational system.

"Baskin" is the core of Euro Hoop for All project. This sport discipline was born in Cremona in 2001 thanks to Professors Fausto Capellini and Antonio Bodini. They started by activating a laboratory in which different sport experts, along with the players involved, invented step by step the "Baskin" as we know it today.
