Biography
She is one of the youngest faces on the national taekwondo team. After years of rhythmic gymnastics, she decided to bring all her physicality and innate technical skills to the mat, qualities that soon enabled her to collect her first important results at national level. In 2023, she earned the spotlight at the Junior European Championships in Bucharest, where she won the bronze medal in the -49 kg. A year later she took centre stage at the pre-Olympic European competition in Sofia, where she did not lose a round and gave Italy a national place in Paris 2024, ensuring Italy returned to an Olympic women's competition after a 16-year absence.
