Meet Renzo.

He is a photographer, video maker, and squash coach.

@renzo_andorno lives near Lake Como and travels frequently to Nepal, where he has photographed the Nepali people and culture and coached the Nepalese Men’s and Women’s National Team as well as children in squash.

He is president of the NGO SOS Nepal, which — since 2000 — has helped build a school in the Everest Valley, a hospital in Maleku, and an active shelter for poor children in Kathmandu. Soon, Renzo will open the first Squash Academy in Nepal.

A Level II squash coach, Renzo trained under squash legend @simonesquashcoach (now a friend of 20+ years). He will join Simone in coaching the kids at @orcitaly in July, 2025.

It’s not every day that your squash coach is also a professional photographer and video maker.

That’s what we call the icing on the cake! Or panettone as it were.

“I love Italy and I love tennis, so how could I not be involved in what I knew would be an unforgettable memory for kids?”
—Walter Giacometti, Owner and Founder of @orcitaly

For nearly 15 years, Walter has introduced New York kids, aged 4 to14, to the great game of tennis, at @tigertennisacad.

Now he’s taking this to the next level by hosting Oltremare Racquet Camp in Italy in July 2025. Walter will be the head tennis coach and squash legend @simonesquashcoach the head squash coach.

Walter’s past experience includes serving as head coach of the Division II
@liupost university women’s tennis team and running summer tennis camps for four years.

His parents were born in Italy, and Italian was the primary language spoken in his home. He spent many summers in a small town on the Adriatic coast called Fano where he has family and lifelong friends.

Watch his video message to hear more about Oltremare Racquet Camp’s three racquet sports, day trips to historic towns, Italian language course, and more.

It’s time for your first Italian lesson!

The way we say Happy New Year is “Buon Anno.”

As for how we celebrate?

Throwing old things out the window is more fiction than fact these days.

We can eat lentils for good luck…adults can drink prosecco on New Year’s Eve…and families can play “tombola,” which is similar to bingo.

New Year’s eve is known as la festa di San Silvestro (the feast of San Silvester).

“Il capodanno” literally translates to the head of the year.

Buon anno to you and yours!

We will train at two of Italy’s top sports facilities. Tennis and padel will take place at @queensclubcattolica and squash at @federsquash (National Squash Center).

One coach will be assigned to every four players.

We will stay in Riccione, a popular seaside resort on the Adriatic Sea.

Our hotel, the three-star superior @hotel_poker_riccione, will be our home base. Floors will be reserved for us, with double- and triple-room configurations.

We will dine at local restaurants and the hotel (PS Their tagliatelle alla Bolognese is divine!)
