Biography
She started boxing due to a knee injury, which forced her to give up roller-skating, her initial passion. Following in her brother’s footsteps, triumphs and achievements began to materialise in her new competitive life. In 2016, she came second in the Assoluti Junior category and the following year she won the Italian Youth competition in Chieti. These wins helped her to make headway at an international level, where she has made a name for herself in a podium-filled career. She loves spending her free time with her family and watching films: her favourite is Million Dollar Baby, obviously inspired by what has become her world. Ambitious and determined, her sporting achievements include a European podium in Budva in 2022. In Paris 2024, she wants to continue advancing towards her Olympic dream after a ninth-place finish in Tokyo 2020.
