Andrea Orazietti is the modern ITCup champion most easily summarised by the headline of his own ITCup blog write-up — "Vincere può diventare un vizio", "Winning can become a vice." In 2021 he took both the championship's virtual prelude (Trading Bootcamp) and the main XXIV edition outright at +34.84% in under two months. The double — winning the practice-event-with-paper-money and then the real-money main championship in the same season — is the kind of result that suggests a systematic edge rather than a 2021-vintage-bull-market accident.

The 2021 return is much smaller than the contemporaneous Ledda (+551% in 2024) and Carriere (+95% in 2023) numbers, but the championship's volatility window was narrower that year — 34% on real money in two months is a strong systematic-trader signature. The public footprint outside the ITCup blog is thin; no verified X / LinkedIn / personal site surfaces under his name against the championship record. Outreach realistic only via the ITCup organisers.
