Luciano Nunes Nucci

""Casquinha" is an endearing way of saying "casca", a word that has numerous meanings in Portuguese, though in Luciano's case, it is a synonym of the word "peeling", as in, peeling off the skin. The name started back when Nucci was an avid surfer in the region of Ubatuba, due to how easily his skin peeled when exposed to the sun. His friends commented on that fact and it became a joke/nickname among comrades."
