Francesca Dallapé:
Yes, I realized more than I expected could happen in my career … I realized dreams that were hard even to think about!
In those years, 2009-2016 I never felt satisfied because every year I had goals to reach!
Now, that I have achieved all that I wanted I feel satisfied, above all of the work I have done without ever backing away from fatigue!
