Biography
Originally from Gallarate, Giorgia is returning to the Games after her Rio experience in 2016. She started weightlifting at 16, although, at least initially, she was more interested in fitness classes. Then came the love affair with the barbell, which made her one of the most successful female athletes. Weightlifting remains a hobby, but her Palmares also includes a silver medal and two continental bronze medals. A graduate of the Hotel Institute, she describes herself as shy and reserved. However, on the Tokyo platform, she will not be intimidated and is ready to give her best.
