Biography
The first to notice her athletic abilities was her mother, Margherita. At age four, she began to master her body perfectly and immediately realised that gymnastics would be her life. She grew up in Civitavecchia, near Rome, but is very attached to her homeland of Campania. A dynamic, explosive, and indomitable individual, she stood out from a young age with her precise movements and boundless talent. She trained at the prestigious Accademia Internazionale di Brescia and her honours include the two european championship silver medals won in 2022 in Turkey in the overall team competition and on beam, respectively. The following year she was one of five starters at the World Championships in Antwerp, where, together with her teammates, she guaranteed Italy a national spot for Paris 2024. Three months before the Games, she won the European all-around in Rimini, the best way to get closer to the Olympics.
