• Giuliano gained worldwide fame after entering the Guinness Book of Records in 2008 as the "strongest boy in the world." He was only 5 years old.
• At the time, Giuliano was doing 90-degree push-ups, lifting weights, and balancing on rings.
• This led to him participating in several TV shows.
• Fame came along with a lot of criticism about his training routine.
• Giuliano's parents, however, always said that he trained of his own free will and never forced him to do anything.
• After undergoing tests, the boy developed muscle and bone problems. As a result, he reduced his training schedule and stayed away from the media.

Giuliano currently lives in Italy. He traded his love of bodybuilding for boxing, competing in Italian clubs. On social media, he once again demonstrated his strength, receiving both praise and criticism.
