Biography
Her course was charted from a young age, when her father decided to enrol her in a sailing course. In Paris 2024, she is ready for her third Olympic experience. She was already part of the Azzurra delegation at Rio 2016 due to a last-minute substitution before the Games. Her participation in Tokyo 2020 and the French Olympics, on the other hand, is the result of steady growth that, between 2017 and 2021, led her to win the European silver and world bronze medals in the 470 event, alongside Sveva Carraro in Monaco and Bianca Caruso in Portugal, respectively. A Business Economics student, away from regattas she enjoys relaxing with a good book or a movie. Since the end of 2021, she has been dedicated to the mixed 470, always driven by her love for this sport which is soon to be transformed once again into the Olympic dream she wants to experience as a protagonist in the waters of Marseille, alongside her crew-mate Bruno Festo.
