Brief presentation: I started training every day (excluding Sunday) 4 hours a day from the age of 7. Since I was 8 years old I have always competed in top level Italian competitions. I wore the blue shirt 8 times: 5 with the junior national team and 3 with the senior national team. My greatest achievement was winning the bronze medal on vault during a World Cup event and the national senior category title. I have always considered it essential to combine study with sporting activity: to guarantee a future and a complete education. This is my fourth year within the Unimore Sport Excellence project, a project that I consider fundamental and of great value both for the fact that it allows us to better reconcile our double life, and for the contribution it is making to the dissemination of knowledge of all sports (minor sports in particular) within academia.
