Biography

Though her trophy cabinet - featuring two Italian National Championships, one Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana - is already pretty rich, the World Championship silver medal won in Japan in 2018 elevated her to one of the finest middle blockers worldwide albeit her young age. A Sports Science degree student, she loves spending her free time in Lake Garda, an ideal place to relax and recover energy. Shy and soft-spoken off the court, she is an avid reader and especially enjoys Ken Follett and Wilbur Smith thrillers.
