He is of Italian and Spanish descent on his father’s side and has primarily Italian ancestry on his mother’s side. “Leo” developed a passion for football at an early age, playing constantly with his older brothers, Rodrigo and Matías, and his cousins, Emanuel Biancucchi and Maximiliano. Both of whom became professional footballers.

Since his eleventh birthday, when his grandmother died and he became a devout Catholic Christian, he has celebrated his goals by looking up and pointing to the sky in tribute to her.
