Alessia Orro Quiz – Italy's Olympic Gold Medal Setter

Alessia Orro was born in Oristano, Sardinia, in 1998 and became one of Italy's top setters. A setter makes the second touch and decides which attacker gets the ball, so she shapes the whole offense.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Italy's women were coached by Julio Velasco and featured stars such as Paola Egonu and Myriam Sylla. They beat the United States 3-0 in the final to win Italy's first Olympic volleyball gold.
