Biography

At the age of 12, she chose to live in Padua to devote herself to artistic gymnastics, following her sister’s example, until she won the junior national vaulting title in 2009. Growing in stature, she was then inspired by a TV commercial of Yelena Isinbaeva and, as such, in the summer of 2011 she chose to try pole vaulting. Within a few months she made it to the national team, but didn’t immediately leave her first love: in 2015 in Ancona, she competed in the Italian championships in both disciplines on the same Sunday. In 2017 she won the overall outdoor Italian title, then repeated this success with the indoor one in 2020, while in 2019 she became the fifth-best female Italian athlete ever with 4.41.
