Career

edit

Early years

edit

Beccari began learning to skate in 2009.[1] In 2014 and 2015, she competed in novice ice dancing with Pietro Turbiglio. In 2016, she was off the ice for several months due to an injury.[2]

Competing in the advanced novice ladies' category, Beccari became the Italian national champion in March 2017 and took silver at the Rooster Cup in April, coached by Edoardo De Bernardis.[3]

2017–18 season

edit

Beccari became age-eligible for junior international events and made her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut in September, placing seventh in Minsk, Belarus. After winning the national junior title, she was selected to represent Italy at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria; she finished sixteenth overall after placing twenty-third in the short program and eleventh in the free skate. During the season, she was coached by Edoardo De Bernardis and Claudia Masoero in Turin.[4]

2018–19 season

edit
 
Beccari at the 2019 World Junior Championships

Beccari decided to train under Franca Bianconi in Bergamo.[1] Starting her season on the JGP series, she placed seventh in Kaunas, Lithuania, and fifteenth in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She then won three junior international medals – bronze at the Golden Bear of Zagreb, gold at the Warsaw Cup, and gold at the Denkova-Staviski Cup. Although too young for international senior-level events, she competed in the senior category at the Italian Championships in December. Ranked first in the short program and fourth in the free skate, she was awarded the silver medal.[5]

2019–20 season

edit

In her final appearance on the Junior Grand Prix, Beccari placed sixteenth at the 2021 JGP Poland. Making her senior debut on the Challenger series, she competed three times at 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy, 2019 CS Warsaw Cup, and 2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Beccari was fourth at the Italian championships and competed at several other minor internationals.[5]

2020–21 season

edit

In an international season greatly limited by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Beccari was the Italian national bronze medalist and won the Egna Trophy.[5]

2021–22 season

edit

Beccari withdrew from the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy. Following the cancellation of the 2021 Cup of China, Italy unexpectedly became the host of the third event in the Grand Prix, the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia.[6] Beccari was one of two Italian women assigned to compete at the home Grand Prix (along with Lara Naki Gutmann), making her Grand Prix debut with a twelfth-place finish.[7] She was sixth at the Italian championships.[5]

2022–23 season

edit

In the summer of 2022, Beccari had the opportunity to switch to pair skating after reigning Italian national champion Nicole Della Monica decided to retire following the Beijing Olympics, leaving her partner Matteo Guarise looking for a new partner to continue onward to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.[8] Beccari would later say that she had previously tried out in pairs, but due to an injury had focused on singles skating. However, she had reconsidered after the prior season, citing that "I had a lot of physical issues that affected me on the ice and in all my competitions. I was feeling low, both physically and mentally. I instantly decided that I needed a drastic change"[9]

Beccari/Guarise made their international debut at the 2022 CS Warsaw Cup, finishing in fourth place. They won the bronze medal at their first Italian championships, and were seventh at the 2023 European Championships.[10]

2023–24 season

edit
 
Beccari and Guarise during their free skate at the 2024 World Championships

Beccari/Guarise began the season with a fourth-place finish at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy.[10] At their second Challenger event, the 2023 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, they won the silver medal, their first international podium together. They set new personal bests in both the free skate and total score.[11] They were invited to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2023 Skate Canada International, where they won the bronze medal, despite each making a jump error in the free skate. Beccari remarked that she was "really happy" about her "first important medal," though "about the skate, we are not that happy." Guarise deemed it a "learning experience."[12] They went on to win the silver medal at the 2023 NHK Trophy.[13] Beccari/Guarise finished the Grand Prix with the same placements as fellow Italian team Ghilardi/Ambrosini and Hungarians Pavlova/Sviatchenko, but lost the tiebreaker of cumulative scores, and thus finished as second alternates to the Grand Prix Final.[14] Guarise acknowledged this as disappointing, but said "for our first Grand Prix season we can be pleased."[13]

After winning the silver medal at the Italian championships, Beccari/Guarise competed at the 2024 European Championships in Kaunas, generally noted rated among the title favourites in pre-event assessments.[15] They finished third in the short program with a new personal best score, but then unexpectedly won the free skate and took the gold medal, 3.05 points ahead of Georgian silver medalists Metelkina/Berulava.[16]

Beccari/Guarise were given one of the two Italian berths at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal. The finished eighth in the short program, ninth in the free skate, and ninth overall.[17][18]

2024–25 season

edit

Beccari/Guarise began the season by winning silver at the 2024 Shanghai Trophy.[19] Although the pair were scheduled to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit at 2024 Skate Canada International and 2024 NHK Trophy, they would withdraw from both events due to Beccari sustaining a foot injury.[20]
