I expect to enjoy the competition, have fun and give my best. After that, should the result come, it would certainly be much but much more" beautiful".

Also departing is the group of female swordsmen, led by coach Dario Chiadò and formed by Rossella Fiamingo, Alberta Santuccio, Giulia Rizzi and Mara Navarria, who after winning the European Championships in Basel (the gold was missing for 17 years and allowed Italy to confirm itself at the top of the world ranking, ed.) is aiming straight at the Paris Games.

"With the victory at the European – says Fiamingo – we understood, in case we still had any doubts, that ours è a very strong team, as well as united. We love each other very much. In short, we will play it. Our cards are good to get to medal, although the è Olympiad".
