SWIMMING COMEBACK
In early 2018 she decided to retire from swimming. "I went away from Ostia [training centre] because mentally I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to change, to find myself and to understand what I wanted to do. I was letting go." She then returned to competitive action in November 2018 after an 11-month break with the ambition of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I don't know what happened inside me, but it was mainly the dream of participating in the Olympics. I had participated in the world and European Championships, the Mediterranean Games and World University Games. I had done everything, but maybe that Olympic dream encouraged me and brought back my will to train, and the hunger for victory. I am living a second youth. It is a beautiful moment in my life and every piece is in the right place." (nuoto.com, 12 Aug 2020, 19 Dec 2019; oasport.it, 25 Aug 2020)
