It was Pellegrini herself, a guest on TV for the first time with her boyfriend on August 7 last year at Verissimo ‘on Canale 5, who revealed the wedding date. “We will get married towards the end of August. And we will do it in my hometown, Venice – said the 2008 Olympian from Beijing -. I did not think that organizing a wedding was so complicated, but we are at a good point”. And she had added: “We don’t see
the time for it to happen: we want to crown our story and start a new journey together “.
And to Silvia Toffanin who asked her about the day of the proposal, the Olympic champion recalled: “It was a moment that I will never forget. I did not expect the proposal to arrive so quickly, I thought that after my retirement from the competitions Matteo made more time”.
The one between Federica and Matteo is a love story born by the pool. Pellegrini, in fact, chose Giunta as his coach in 2014. “We have been together for almost four years now, but ours has been a journey full of emotions – he said in the past – first only sports, only then did the feelings take over” .
And on the choice to formalize their love live from Tokyo he said: “It was exciting. After the last Olympic competition I decided to free ourselves and to reveal this secret of Pulcinella. Now we are living everything in the light of the sun, and it is beautiful. “.
