Discover more than stats. Get more of who she is.

Santoro’s football story began after she watched her brother playing with friends on a local pitch and immediately wanted to join in.

A self-described rebel as a child, Santoro disliked rules and believes her exuberant personality brought both positive experiences and occasional mistakes. She still carries some of that childhood rebelliousness, but now combines it with the judgement and awareness developed through adulthood.

Away from football, she passed the professional examination required to work as an insurance intermediary.

Her reading choices frequently focus on professional development and personal growth.

Santoro participated in Sassuolo’s charity evening for ADMO Emilia-Romagna, supporting awareness of bone-marrow donation through an auction, photographs and autograph activities.
