Emanuele Pessagno was born and raised in Sardinia, Italy. He grew up with a fascination for the sea and all things naval. As a child, he would spend hours watching ships pass by and dreaming of one day serving on a destroyer.
I'm the Sardegnian destroyer, Emanuele Pessagno. Umm... Commander, you look way different in-person than through my telescope... Must be because I can get a closer view.
