Her partner Nicola Benedetti has also represented Italy in modern pentathlon. He competed at the Olympic Games in 2008 and 2012, and at the 2021 World Cup event in Sofia, Bulgaria. (SportsDeskOnline, 29 Jul 2021; torinotopnews.it, 22 Jul 2021)

She took up modern pentathlon in 2007. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

She practised swimming but her results were not good enough, so her coach switched her to modern pentathlon. "Almost immediately I was able to compete at national level. Little by little the love for the sport blossomed. The spark for competitive sport came in 2004 after watching the Olympic Games in Athens. It was when [Italian swimmer] Federica Pellegrini won silver, and I thought, 'I want to try it too'." (sportface.it, 05 Feb 2016; torinotopnews.it, 22 Jul 2021)

To compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. (torinotopnews.it, 22 Jul 2021)

"Practising five disciplines takes a lot of time. I train every day with three workouts a day, and on Saturday afternoons and Sundays I take time off to dedicate myself to something else." (torinotopnews.it, 22 Jul 2021)

General
STRONGEST EVENT
She says swimming has historically been her strongest event, but that she has grown to enjoy riding. "Lately [speaking in 2020] I prefer horse riding. Sometimes I go back to loving swimming, even though I abandoned it as a young girl. It is the discipline that serves me the best in the standings." (poliziapenitenziaria.gov.it, 29 Apr 2020)

OCCUPATION
She works for the Italian Penitentiary Police. "They are a great source of pride for me, they support me and at the same time let me work peacefully at home. Sometimes I go to the prison in Asti [Italy] for office work, where I have really helpful colleagues who support me, whom I thank very much." (torinotopnews.it, 22 Jul 2021)
