Biography

Tokyo will be her second Olympic experience, on the strength of the bronze medal she won with Bianca Caruso at the World Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal. If the Brazilian Games came somewhat by chance, the Japanese ones are the fruit of a steady growth that took her to the European podium in 2017. The 28-year-old from Rome has had her course mapped out for some time, ever since her father started her on a sailing course at a young age. Then that love, alternating with studies in Business Administration, turned into the Olympic dream that the Italian is now living as a player on Japanese waters.
