Started: She began playing sitting volleyball in 2016. (gazzetta.it, 07 Feb 2018)
Reason: "I went to a prosthesis centre in Bologna. And there I met people from the Italian Paralympic Committee who asked me if I had played sports before the amputation and if I wanted to play sports in the future. As a young girl I always played volleyball, and being able to go back to it was fantastic. Sitting volleyball is a relief valve for me. When I play I'm fine."
