Start sporting career
She began rhythmic gymnastics in 2009 at age nine at the Polisportiva La Fenice club in Spoleto, Italy.
Reason for taking up the sport
Her parents enrolled her in a gymnastics class. "As a child I couldn't sit still for one second. I was doing the splits and vertical handstands so my parents decided to get me involved. The second I saw the ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics it was love at first sight. Gymnastics plays a big part in my family life. It's all we ever talk about."
