Biography

She earned her pass for Tokyo 2020 at the last World Championships with her victory at the final B, allowing her and her partner Federica Cesarini to get the Italian double lightweight team into the Olympic event. Her first club was Canottieri Leonida Bissolati in Cremona, which she joined at the age of just 9, but today she is part of the Fiamme Gialle. She was already called up to the Rio Games in 2016, where she competed alongside Laura Milani, but these past few years have allowed her to gain experience in the senior categories. For her, rowing represents freedom, and it is a passion. But her life is more than just sports: she also makes time to study, and is currently doing a degree in Marketing and Business Organisation.
