She closed her chapter with Italian team after the Beijing Games, but she came back to wear the shirt of the national team in conjunction with the return on the bench of Marco Bonitta, who wanted to rely on her experience. A remarkable career for the opposite from Tuscany, who has spent the last nine years away from Italy, between Cannes and Galatasaray: seven French championships and as many domestic cups, which go with medals with the Italian national team (silver stands out from the Europeans 2005) and individual awards (best player of the French championship in the 2010/2011 season and best striker in the Final Four of the Champions League 2010). In Rio it will be up to her to guide the young Italian team to a long overdue Olympic medal.
