General
TELEVISION
She was chosen by MTV to be a part of the programme, 'Gymnasts - Parallel Lives', which gave a closer look into the life of a gymnast. Subsequently she won the Sports Hero award, a vote by fans, at the 2013 and 2014 MTV Italy Awards. "I'm happy that finally people can really understand how much diligence and sacrifice this sport requires, just like in life." She also served as Nickelodeon's Italian correspondent for the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America. Despite her fame, she is humble. "I do not consider myself a VIP or special in any way." (intlgymnast.com, 17 Jun 2013; oasport.it, 22 Jun 2014; intlgymnast.com, 16 Feb 2014)
