Biography

Nine years ago, whilst participating in the Olympic Games in London, she discovered she was pregnant and the following year she became a mother to Samuele. Motherhood has given this woman from Friuli a greater awareness of her abilities and it is no coincidence that all of her greatest achievements have come in the years following the birth of her child. Centre-stage in fencing since the age of 10, Mara seems to share this passion in the family with her siblings Enrico and Caterina, with the latter claiming the silver medal in team saber-fencing at the European Games of Baku in 2015, whilst her husband Andrea Lo Coco joins her in athletic training. In Wuxi, in July 2018, she won the World Championship title, and more recently, she won the team bronze in Budapest in the summer of 2019. In 2016 she graduated with a degree in Sport Sciences and embarked on the path to become a fencing master.
