Biography
She started swimming in her town of Arenzano but, under her brother's encouragement, gradually approached water polo more and more. During her first game, she was as happy as a child with a new toy, and it was at that moment that she realised that this sport could become something more than just a passion. She made her debut with the senior national team in December 2018 in a friendly in Verona against Hungary. She learnt of the call-up while at school and celebrated her debut with a goal. Despite her very young age, she can already count a European and a World bronze medal in her trophy cabinet. In addition to being one of Setterosa's star players, she is currently playing for CN Sabadell, one of the most successful clubs in Spain. In addition to her aspiration of representing Italy with distinction at Paris 2024, her ultimate dream is to pursue studies abroad and earn a degree.
