Carlo Festuccia: London Wasps sign Italy hooker from Zebre
London Wasps have signed Italy international hooker Carlo Festuccia from RaboDirect Pro 12 side Zebre on undisclosed terms.
The 33-year-old has represented his country at two World Cups, and has also played for L'Aquila, Aironi and French Top 14 side Racing Metro.
He will provide competition for places with Neil Cochrane and Tom Lindsay.
"It's a great bonus to bring in Carlo who has such strong experience," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said. Festuccia will again join up with compatriot Andrea Masi at Adams Park, a team-mate at two of his former clubs. "I am delighted to join Wasps and test myself in a new environment," he said. "I have played in the Pro12 and the Top 14 and always wanted to compete in the English Premiership, so this is an exciting move for me."
