Edoardo Cazzani


I am an Italian student athlete at Roanoke College. I am currently a freshman double-majoring in Engineering and Chemistry and double-minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science.

I committed to RC to play tennis, as I am a very competitive and athletic person and am therefore often interested in sports and related activities.

I graduated from my Italian high school in June 2026, after spending a year as an exchange student in Florida at the Emilio Sanchez American School during the 2024–25 academic year, where I learned Spanish and English as my third and second languages, respectively.

About Me

I was born and raised in Milan, Italy. From a young age, my parents tried to encourage me to live in nature. This choice made me develop a passion for discovering the world in both scientific and human ways.

I always prioritised both school and extracurricular activities, such as sports, playing the piano and language courses.

After quitting swimming, tennis became a huge part of my life. I was committed to being part of the team at Roanoke College, and I still swim as I have my lifeguard licence from the Salem YMCA. 

I studied the piano for a few years, encouraged by my mother, who believed that it could broaden the mind and expand horizons.

Which languages do I know?

Italian

My native language

English

My secoond language, the one I learned in school and improved thanks to my exchange student year in Naples, FL

Spanish

Spanish is very similar to Italian, so I find it easy to understand. Thanks to my year in Florida, I had the opportunity to speak and practice Spanish every day.

French

I studied French during all my three years of middle school

German

I studied German in an afternoon course during my first year of middle school

Latin

As many italians I studied Latin in high-school

Japanese

The idea was born as a joke with my japanese friend in Florida at the end of april 2025, as now I am still carrying the same streak on Duolingo
