Biography

She was born in Subiaco, a small High Medieval town in the province of Rome, and developed competitively with Winter Club. Still very young, mainly for climatic reasons and in agreement with her coaches, she decided to move first to Tarvisio and later to Moena, where she continued her growth pathway in cross-country skiing without pause.

Her most important career result came in February 2024 at the Junior World Championships in Planica, where she won gold in the skating mass start, returning an Italian woman to the top step of the podium at youth level 35 years after Stefania Belmondo’s double success in Vang. She made her senior World Championship debut in March 2025 in Trondheim and at the beginning of December, in the same venue, she delivered an excellent sixth place in the 10 km skating (her best individual World Cup finish). She thrives on uphill sections, where she can fully unleash her strength and explosiveness. Born in 2004, at the Milano Cortina Olympic Games she already wants to be a key piece for Italy.
