The Olympic torch is quickly making its way to Milan, and soon, a UC Berkeley professor will get the opportunity to carry it.

The torchbearer is Matteo Garbelotto, a forestry professor at UC Berkeley, who grew up in the tiny Italian mountain town of San Martino Di Castrozza. He grew up with a passion of skiing, but suffered a severe spinal injury while skiing at Mammoth in 2018.
