Biography
She has tried dancing, but swimming is her family, the pool her home. Pushed into the water by her parents, who wanted her to learn to swim in a seaside town like Livorno, she has never left it and, at just 25, is living the Olympic dream again after her experiences in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. Once bronze at the European Championships (Rome 2022) and once at the World Championships (Doha 2024), at her side is her father Stefano, her coach and federal coach of the Italian national team. Specialising in medley swimming, she took to the Olympic stage to experience the "spectacle" of the Games with greater awareness.
