Biography
She began her career in Frascati Fencing, before enrolling in the Air Force and finally taking off at the sporting level. She gained prominence thanks to the individual bronze and team gold she won at the 2013 Under-20 World Championships in Porec, a springboard onto the world stage. Foil is where she is most comfortable, and it allowed her to gain entry to the Italian dream team, with which she became European and world team champion. She loves the sea, diving and music. Her aim is to keep amazing audiences on the piste and step on to the most prestigious stage of all – the stage with five magical rings.
