Trenti was born to an American mother and Italian father, allowing him to maintain dual citizenship. In 2001, he became the first American to win a stage at the Vuelta a España.[1] In 2002, Trenti represented the United States at the World Cycling Championships, mainly because he was not selected by the Italian team.
He lives in Mussolente during the racing season.
