«Lo sport per me è vita, non potrei stare senza, letteralmente.»
“For me, sport is life. I literally couldn't live without it.”
Vittoria grew up in the water in Liguria: «Nuoto da quando avevo pochi mesi» — she has swum since she was a few months old. After years of distance swimming she raced her first triathlon in 2015.
Italian champion in the non-drafting Olympic distance (S1, Iseo, 2019) and in the middle distance (S2, Lovere, 2021). In 2026 she won at Andora, the Vertical 06 in France and Pietra Ligure, and finished second at Recco, before ICON.
«Non sono una atleta professionista.» She trains in the morning and works as a physiotherapist in the afternoon. Coach: Giulio Molinari.
