Work History

470 Sailor

04.2025 - Current
  • Started the Olympic campaign for LA 2028 as crew in the 470 class.
  • Member of the Italian Sailing Federation’s development and under-24 team.

Boat Builder

University of Trieste
09.2024 - Current
  • Audace Sailing Team is an extracurricular project born at the University of Trieste, aimed at designing and building eco-sustainable boats using flax fibers and carbon composites.
  • This year, for the Sumoth Challenge held at Fraglia Vela Malcesine, the team built a new Moth Bay - Flax Bandit and refurbished the deck of the previous Moth Bay - Flying Lina.
  • Working as a boat builder has been highly educational, especially in the use of shipyard tools and in gaining a deeper understanding of boat construction processes.
  • We conducted extensive research on fibers, composites, and structural solutions to ensure the boat was as sustainable and fast as possible. This experience raised my awareness of the potential to make even Olympic sailing more sustainable — a goal I am determined to pursue in the future.

ILCA6 Sailor

03.2017 - 10.2024
  • I have achieved significant results at the international, European, and national levels. The most notable include 3rd place at the U21 World Championship in 2023, 2nd place at the U18 European Championship in 2020, and 2nd place at the U16 European Championship in 2019.
  • I have also had the opportunity to compete in Senior European Championships, multiple editions of the Trofeo Princesa Sofia, and the Olympic Sailing Week in Hyères.
  • From 2020 to 2024, I was part of the Italian Sailing Federation’s development and under-21 team, with several call-ups to train with the Olympic team.
