Forty years old but not feeling it. An example of perseverance and will power, the marathon runner pursues an Olympic medal in Rio which could crown her extraordinary career.

Mother of Leonardo and Arianna, she has a degree in Languages and, until a short time ago, she worked as a nursery school teacher on a permanent contract. In 2010, she had to have her spleen and part of her gall bladder removed due to a spherocytosis condition of hereditary nature, and since then, her “life has changed” so much that, in sports, she has become one of the top 10 runners.
