Biography

She was the first Italian karateka to qualify for Tokyo 2020 and let’s just say that she didn’t travel that far just to make an appearance European Vice-Champion in 2019 and Bronze World Champion in 2018, this woman from Genoa took an interest in this discipline when she was six years old along with her sister Valeria. From the very beginning she was ready to fight her male opponents, going on to collect titles and medals in every competition in her career. Karate means everything to her, even romantically (she is engaged to the ex-Italian sportsman Nello Maestri); specifically, kata is an aspect of karate that draws out her thrill and excitement. A perfectionist and keen student,this Italian sports champion is never satisfied. Not even in Tokyo.
