Biography
Becoming a princess was never her childhood dream. From a very young age, in fact, the Roman champion had clear ideas: she wanted to become a swimmer. She inherited her passion from her instructor father and shared it for years with her older sister, Erica, her reference point. Not yet eighteen years old, and after numerous victories at the youth level, she made herself known to the world in 2014 by winning the title of youth Olympic champion of the 800m freestyle in Nanjing. She missed the summons to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games by making a mistake during the decisive race, but that unexpected misstep was the turning point of her career. At her first world championships, in 2017, she immediately won a bronze medal. The following year she scored a historic hat-trick at the European Championships in Glasgow, winning the 1,500, 800 and 400 metres. The final blessing came in 2019, when she became World Champion in the 1,500m while also recording the new national record. And again: at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics his first five-ring medal, the bronze in the 800m. The following year four more medals between World and European Championships. In 2023 again a World medal, silver in the 1,500m. In 2024 another triumph at the World Championships in Doha in the 1,500m. She is writing important pages in the history of Italian swimming and in Paris 2024 she wants to fly.
