Biography

When she was a child, together with her father and her older brother, she went to see the Rimini Baseball at the Stadio dei Pirati. Then, when her brother started to try his hand at softball, she also wanted to have a go at this sport. She played baseball in Rimini Riviera up to student level, the only girl on the team, with her debut coming in the Italian Softball League in 2008 at only 15 years old. In her career, she won three consecutive national titles between 2015 and 2017, the first two in Turin with La Loggia and the third in the colours of Forli, and her debut in a blue shirt was also a winning one. In 2015, called-up for the Rosmalen European Championships, she returned from Holland with a gold medal around her neck. Now, at the age of 26, she brings into the field all the experience of a veteran.
