Fabiano has become the #1 rated player in Italy in the July 2007 FIDE rating list. He also gained more points since then and his rating should be around 2570 or even higher in the next rating list. He already has 2 GM norms under his belt and he is on the way to getting his 3rd as we speak in Hungary.

Here is the rating chart to show his remarkable climb to the top since January 2004. He gained ratings in every list since that time. Congratulations to Fabiano for his accomplishments and special recognition to his family for their tremendous sacrifices to help him reach the pinnacle! I am very proud of everything he has done and I am looking forward to Fabiano breaking 2600 and the top 100.
