Biography
Her family is a divers' one: her brothers, Thomas and Nicholas (specialized in sync); former diver Barbara (her mother) who routed the children to the sport; her cousin diver, Michele Benedetti; former diver and today her coach, Domenico Rinaldi, her mother's boyfriend. Back to the Games after eight years (absent in London 2012) to live her third Olympic experience and take revenge on the bad luck. In fact, many fourth places and too many physical problems do fill the trophy cabinet, in which, nevertheless, three European silvers/silver medals can be displayed. Fond of animals - her mother trained giant schnauzers - the Roman 31-year-old athlete will be presenting herself in Rio in search of redemption.
