Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on February 02, 1982)

Happy birthday, Filippo Magnini! You've glided through chlorine faster than most of us navigate the pizza line. Winning bronze at the Athens Olympics in the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay and reigning supreme as World Champion proves even mermaids envy your speed.

From countless medals to your iconic victory celebrations—your swimming career has been a splash worthy of legend. May today bring laughter bigger than any podium smile, and may you swim effortlessly toward many more joyful laps around life's pool (preferably followed by pasta!). Keep making waves both inside and outside lanes. Tanti auguri di buon compleanno!
