A two-time Olympic gold medalist in the Nacra 17 foil class, she secured victories at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Games alongside her crewmate Ruggero Tita.

A paragon of dedication and resilience, Caterina has also claimed four world and European titles. Her outstanding achievements have earned her numerous accolades, including being named FIV Sailor of the Year six times, Rolex World Sailor of the Year in 2021, and a spot among Forbes Italy’s 100 Most Successful Women in 2024.

Beyond her athletic prowess, Caterina is a sports intellectual—an accomplished polyglot, graduate in Oriental Languages and Civilisations, and holder of a diploma in Islamic Studies. As an “activist of the sea,” she champions leadership, teamwork, stress management, and goal-setting as fundamental principles.
