Personal life

Lorenza Alessandrini was born on 6 August 1990 in Milan, Italy.^[1] She studied sports at Università telematica San Raffaele.^[2]^[3]

Career

Early in her career, Alessandrini skated with Tommaso Forchini.

In 2007, she teamed up with Simone Vaturi. They placed fifth at the 2010 World Junior Championships. Later that year, Alessandrini broke a rib in training causing them to miss the 2010–11 Grand Prix season.^[4] They returned to competition to win the senior bronze medal at the Italian Championships and were assigned one of Italy's two ice dance berths to the 2011 European Championships.^[5] They finished 16th in their first appearance at the event.

In the 2011–12 season, Alessandrini/Vaturi made their senior Grand Prix debut at 2011 NHK Trophy where they finished 5th. They again finished third at the Italian Championships. They were not named in the Italian team to the European Championships. Alessandrini/Vaturi were coached by Roberto Pelizzola and Nicoletta Lunghi in Italy^[4] until January 2012 when they moved to Detroit, Michigan to train under new coaches Pasquale Camerlengo, Massimo Scali, and Anjelika Krylova.^[6]^[7] They made their senior World debut at the 2012 World Championships in Nice, France.^[8]

In mid-December 2012, a fall while training a lift resulted in an injury to Vaturi and the team's withdrawal from the 2013 Italian Championships.^[9]

Vaturi ended their partnership in April 2014.^[3] In May, Alessandrini confirmed she was looking for a partner to continue her competitive career and expressed interest in eventually becoming a coach and choreographer.^[3] In July 2014, she teamed up with Pierre Souquet to compete for France; they are coached by Muriel Boucher-Zazoui in Lyon.^[10]
