What is your favorite Liv bike?The Liv Langma, the geometry of the frame is fantastic
How did you get into cycling?My 3 years younger brother started cycling in the local club in 2008 and I followed him when I was 10 years old. The credit goes to Mirco, Fabio and Roberto from Cyclo Team Cassola 2000 that insisted on giving me a bike and made me start riding.
I am committed to...

LIFE! After a 2020 full of restrictions, I felt I had lost a lot of living time in my life, so I am committed to live every moment at the maximum level, starting from little things of every day life and daily trainings, though spending cycling time with Liv Racing Team to big important moment of life.

What piece of advice would you give to your 13-year-old self?Enjoy life, keep studying, take care of you family and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Why do you ride?

I love outdoor sport. I am facinated by the evolution of nature throughout the seasons - every year her colours, sounds, light and purfumes. I definetly love the sun on my skin and fresh air on my face.

Who inspires you?

I won't mention any known name. Vittorio is the person I look at to get inspired. He is my grandfather and his name means "win". He won my heart, taught me love, the value of hard work, a lot of jokes, art, music, and devotion to family and friends. I miss him so much.

What's your secret talent?I'm a multitasking person, so if that can be considered a talent, I can do many things the same time, like almost every woman in the planet!
What is one thing you learned about yourself in 2020?

Patience. I have always been an impatient person, annoyed by lazy and slow people, but I learned to be patient with situations, people and myself also. Sometimes less stress and more rest is needed!
