Cagnin changes club again, the swordsman goes to the Garden

CASTELFRANCO

Fourth change of club in Beatrice Cagnin’s career: the Castelfranco spadista competes, starting this season, for the glorious club of the Giardino di Milano. The 22-year-old Italian, who today faces the first engagement of the year in the World Cup in Barcelona (also the other castellana Eleonora De Marchi, policewoman of Fencing Treviso), followed the Olympic master Alfredo Rota (team gold medal in Sydney 2000), with which she had already trained in the three seasons preceding the Veronese Bottagisio. The transfer of Rota – could have something to do with the difficulties in the life as an entrepreneur of Luca Campedelli, fencer and soul of Bottagisio: translate non-registration to the Serie B of Chievo football – pushed Cagnin towards Milan, where now the airman of Castelfranco, nearing his degree in Economics in Padua, he lives permanently. In the past, the national sword team, raised in Fencing Castelfranco with the masters Davide Cenedese and Giuseppe Tagliariol, had moved to the Coni gym in Treviso, opting for the Lame Trevigiane, where he had found Cenedese and was trained by Roberto Simeone. The beginning of her university studies in Padua had directed her to Bottagisio. Now the umpteenth turning point, with the arrival at the Milanese fencing school founded in 1882, one of the oldest and most prestigious in Italy. Skipped the stages of Tallinn and Doha, now Cagnin makes his seasonal baptism in Catalonia: today the qualifiers, tomorrow the medals of the individual. First act of a new beginning. Beatrice, from the Garden of Milan, will try to cultivate dreams and hopes colored in blue. You aiming to make your way ahead of the ’24 Paris Olympics. –
