Despite the illness that left her nearly quadriplegic, Benedetta has always faced life with great determination and a spirit of initiative. She is the manager and captain of the Madracs, a powerchair hockey team recently promoted to Serie A. This is a passion she shares with her partner Ivan, who is also quadriplegic. In addition to her commitment to sports, Benedetta works in communication and event planning, including at an international level.
STRAordenari is a documentary series that tells the stories of people with disabilities in their daily lives—lives that are as ordinary as they are extraordinary. These individuals demonstrate how disability does not define a person; rather, it simply represents a characteristic of human diversity. They are people capable of expressing their full potential while breaking down barriers and stereotypes.
