At the age of five, I began practicing a fascinating sport almost as a game: artistic gymnastics. From the very beginning, I was captivated by it.
As the years passed, that childhood game grew into a true passion and a strong desire to achieve an important goal. Determination and perseverance drove me to pursue a lifelong dream: becoming a member of the Italian National Artistic Gymnastics Team.
I soon began achieving excellent results at national level, which further strengthened my motivation to continue.
In September 1994, I joined Team Italy and the Italian Federal Olympic Training Center in Milan, where I lived while completing my studies in accounting.
My international debut with the Italian National Team came in 1994 at the European Championships in Stockholm.
In 1996, I came very close to qualifying for the Atlanta Olympic Games. Although I narrowly missed that opportunity, I overcame the disappointment by competing in my third and final World Championships, bringing my career with the Italian National Team to a close.
