There’s a new champion at the University of Trento. After hosting athletes like Karen Putzer (alpine skiing), Matteo Anesi and Mirko Nenzi (ice skating), Paolo Bacchini (artistic ice skating), Lorenzo Gallosti and Michele Fedrizzi (Volleyball), the Top Sport programme is ready to welcome another important personality. The captain of the National basketball team, Raffaella Masciadri, has just recently enrolled at the Faculty of Law of the University of Trento and will take part in the Top Sport programme launched by the university to support the dual career of the most popular athletes.
Raffaella Masciadri was born in Como in 1980 and plays for Famila Schio as guard/winger. She started her career in the National team in 2001 with 152 presences and over 1400 points scored. An intense commitment, being at the apex of Italian basketball, which is now joined by a new challenge: the conciliation of training and matches with study and exams.
