Biography
She is the young star of Italian women's freestyle wrestling. Born in 2003, in 2019 she triumphed at the European Youth Olympic Festival wearing the Italia Team jersey and won the European cadet bronze medal. Two years later, she won the junior world silver and in 2022 the European under-20 silver. The golden season came in 2023, when in the summer she became the European and then world under-20 champion. The natural consequence of such great talent was the Olympic qualification secured at the last chance, at the world qualification tournament hosted by Istanbul: in Turkey, she pocketed her ticket to Paris. And she’s not setting any limits.
