Da Silva was named after the Italian football striker Alessandro Altobelli.[1] In his early years he earned money by delivering leaflets for a local supermarket. He once entered a 10 km road race aiming to win its top prize, a motorbike, which he needed for his job. He failed to win, but met his future coach Guilherme Salgado.[4]
