Biography
The youngest of the Italian fencing team in the London 2012 Olympics, she went on to claim a double victory in Rio 2016, where she not only won a silver medal, but also championed a historical moment in Italian fencing: she was the first female Italian athlete to win an individual Olympic medal in épée. Then team bronze in Tokyo 2020. Convinced by her father to switch from rhythmic gymnastics to fencing, the athlete from Catania drew her sword at the age of seven. Meticulous and methodical would describe her match preparation: details of the training session and characteristics (both strengths and weaknesses) of her opponents are all logged in her notebook. Her typical days start with a run, an activity that she considers relaxing and that allows some time exclusively to herself before committing to training sessions. Outside of fencing, she has graduated in Dietetics, a fan of classical music, and a qualified piano player (having graduated from a music conservatoire).
