SISTER ACT
Her twin sister Alice has also represented Italy in artistic gymnastics. "We do not feel 'rivals' at all. On the contrary, we help each other and we give each other strength. When she gets great results I am very happy for her and vice versa. Even when I won the [silver] medal at the [2021] World Championships she burst into tears of happiness because it was as if she too had won the medal. So it was also when she won the bronze medal at the [2019] European Championships in Szczecin [Poland]." (intlgymnast.com, 05 Dec 2021)
