Grand Champion - European Cosplay Gathering (ECG)

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Japan Expo

I really don’t know where to start. This year has been very challenging. After 10 years, Italy is back to holding the European Championship cup, and I couldn’t be happier to have realized not only my dream but also the dream of many cosplayers—a dream many chase for their entire lives. My little turtles, let’s enjoy the achievement, and then off to the next adventure!

I’ve always liked Mulan, and the Japan Expo, a year after my European win, made me happy again. This year, the convention included a themed contest on Lorcana, Disney’s new card game. I immediately took the chance to create a new dragon! Right, Mushu?

Romics Cosplay Award (Best Solo Cosplay)

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Romics
  • Year: Ottobre 2022

Okay, I really didn’t expect it. I was there totally chill, chatting with the other participants when suddenly I hear my name called. TOTAL PANIC! Honestly, I didn’t even realize I had won!

Pescara comix cosplay italian cup

Qualification for Cosplay Italian Cup (CIC)

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Pescara Comix
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)

Okay, I wanted to go to nationals again, but not so soon and especially I planned to do it with Edelgard. But… Astrid has grown so much over the years and I believe none of my other cosplays will ever give me a greater satisfaction. This time, who knows… maybe things will be different.

Pescara Comix - Best Cosplay

Best Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Pescara Comix
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


An event full of warmth, achievements, and amazing cosplayers! But I’ll never forget the little girl shouting from the crowd at the awards, “THE LITTLE DRAGON, WELL DONE”… it truly melted my heart.

  • Type: Photo Exhibition
  • Event: Creative Composition Exhibition, Valid World Hall (Barcelona, Spain)
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Zelda (Breath of the Wild)
  • Photographe: Sandro Aliano “LittleBear”


I can hardly believe it, but this amazing photo taken with the wonderful Sandro Aliano placed 29th (out of a total of 80,616 photographs) in the “Creative Composition” contest launched by GuruShots! Therefore, it will be exhibited along with very few other works at the exhibition held at Valid World Hall in Barcelona, Spain. What can I say, LittleBear PH proves once again to be one of the best photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.

Bicomix 2022

Best Overall Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Bicomix
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Saber Lily (Fate Grand Order)


I didn’t design Saber Lily for competitions, but I decided to wear her at Bicomix, a young summer fair full of surprises! The port of Bisceglie in the evening is bustling with people, and the atmosphere is truly romantic with all the soft lights from the venues overlooking the harbor. Too bad about the strong wind that messed up my wig!

Selection for the San Marino Photo Cosplay

  • Type: Participation in a limited-entry photoshoot meetup
  • Event: San Marino
  • Year: 2022


I couldn’t wait to try another photo event, and I can say that the San Marino Photo Cosplay also stayed close to my heart: I met wonderful and super friendly photographers and cosplayers! And it was quite an experience climbing all those… steps… in armor… with 40 degrees Celsius heat. Oh well, it was definitely worth it!

First place: Master of Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Comicon
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)

 
The best part of the competition was the experience itself: a huge and warm audience, photographers, live streams with amazing shots… truly classy! I wish everyone could pass the selection to take part in this amaaaazing contest! (P.S. and the first prize was a Playstation 5, no small change!).

Best Overall Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: ZooComix
  • Year: 2022
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


I really cared about this contest, simply because the jury reminded me of the one at Wondercon! Also, just like at Wondercon, I brought Astrid (though in a more mature version). It felt like reliving my first time on stage and the journey I’ve made from 2015 until now.

Best Overall Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Taranto Comix
  • Year: 2021
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


One of the stages I’m most attached to!

Special Mention Fabio Nocci

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Lucca Comics & Games
  • Year: 2021
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


First contest after the strictest Covid period! I expected a slightly bigger stage space, but it was much better than having to endure the rain outside x.x! I can’t wait for everything to return to normal.

Selection for the Volta

  • Type: Participation in a limited-entry photoshoot meetup
  • Event: il Volta
  • Year: 2021

It’s not technically an award, but you can’t imagine how happy I was to be selected for an event I’ve always considered one of the most super mega prestigious!

Best Female Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Lecce Cosplay & Comics
  • Year: 2019
  • Cosplay: Varusaburosu Armor (Monster Hunter)


The worst performance of my life! But at least I learned a very, very important lesson: if a piece of your cosplay falls apart, don’t panic and keep going! I missed out on the Absolute prize because when the horns fell off my head, I panicked and just stood on stage… doing nothing! NEVER AGAIN! I still won Best Female, but I hope to make up for it on that same stage very soon!

Best Accessory

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Comicon
  • Year: 2019
  • Cosplay: Varusaburosu Armor (Monster Hunter)


One of the coolest stages I’ve ever had the chance to perform on! With all that greenery as the backdrop… spectacular.

Qualification for the National Cosplay Championship (CNC)

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: BGeek
  • Year: 2019
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


What can I say… so excited and stunned that I dropped the Amazon gift card they were giving as a prize! What a klutz.

Best Female Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: BGeek
  • Year: 2019
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 3)


Honestly, I still don’t know how I managed to finish the cosplay the night before the competition. With a broken airbrush, unfinished coloring, and incomplete props. I got discouraged, but hey, I went anyway! Kind of like in Architecture school, where you always think your projects could be better!

Best Overall Cosplay

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: Taranto Comix
  • Year: 2018
  • Cosplay: Varusaburosu Armor (Monster Hunter)


I was totally thrilled at the idea of participating as soon as possible in a competition in Puglia with my Varusaburosu Armor! And the perfect opportunity came at Taranto Comix where I was able to win my first prize as Best Overall Cosplay (or “assolotto,” as my mom says).

Best Female Cosplay

  • Type: Parade
  • Event: Japigia Comics & Games
  • Year: 2018
  • Cosplay: Froslass Gijinka (Pokémon)


Actually, you weren’t even supposed to go to this convention, simply because at that time you were completely focused on building the Varusaburosu Armor that you would wear at that year’s Lucca Comics! But in the end, it was fun to be there!

Best Accessory

  • Type: Contest
  • Event: BGeek
  • Year: 2018
  • Cosplay: Gym Leader Clair (Pokémon)


My first win in a Competition! It was fun to walk around with Gyarados :3

Best Female Cosplay

  • Type: Parade
  • Event: Wondercon
  • Year: 2015
  • Cosplay: Astrid (How to train your dragon 2)


My first experience on stage! I participated only because they almost forced me to. I just remember that after the performance, I started chatting backstage. I didn’t realize I had won and they had to come call me! Practically zero confidence in myself!

Best Female Cosplay

Event: Onigiri Group Cosplay
Year: 2010
Cosplay: Yoruichi (Bleach)
