Casartelli was also an alternate on the Italian women team [6] for the 2021 European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO).

In 2024, the women Math team of Liceo A. Volta –which was composed of many women Casartelli mentored through her workshops– won first place nationally [7].

Activism

edit

Casartelli was involved in pacific protests in 2021 demanding a safe reopening of high schools after the Covid-19 pandemic.
