Sveva is a simple girl, she lives in Casalbuttano, a remote village in the countryside of Cremona. She has loved sports since the first grade: she played basketball, enrolled in a dance school and enjoyed roller skating.

One spring day, in first grade, the janitor Roberto, who saw her running and jumping in the corridors, decided to contact the coach of the Casalbuttano athletics group Annunzio Monfredini: in that moment Sveva was catapulted into the world of athletics.

She fell in love with it immediately, as if she were in her natural habitat, a magical place where she could be serene and give the best of herself.
