Italy volleyball internatinoal Francesca Piccinini Updated: 2005-11-22 10:19
Francesca Piccinini was born on January 10, 1979 and joined the national team
as a wing spiker at an early age. At 16, she played for the Rexona team in the
Italian league, where players all over the world compete. At present, she is
part of the Foppapedretti Bergamo Club.
Francesca was cheered on admirably by her Filipino fans during the
World Grand Prix in the Philsports arena. And she returned the compliment with a
great smile that could melt any man′s heart. Inside the court, she was a looker
and an athlete at the same time. As one of the best scorers of the Italian team,
she showed an assortment of powerful strikes that sent the jampacked crowd
shrieking in excitement.
During her free time, she enjoys music, books, and other sports aside from
volleyball. She spends some time in reading books. She also finds pleasure
in taking long walks and riding horses. No wonder, she′s got such a terrific
figure.
The following is a group of images she takes for a calendar to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of modern Olympic Games.
