Career
editCarnicelli started competing in 2010 as a youth athlete.[1]
In 2022, Carnicelli competed for the Vatican City, alongside her compatriot Emiliano Morbidelli, at the 2022 Championships of the Small States of Europe in the women's 5000 m. She finished third but she was awarded with an honorary bronze medal as she only participated in a "non-scoring" manner.[4][5] She then participated at the Mediterranean Games[2] once again competing in a "non-scoring" manner.[3] She would've finished in ninth place if she competed in a "scoring" manner.
She is eligible to compete for Vatican City either because her mother is employed there as an administrative worker,[3] or because she is the daughter of Giancarlo Carnicelli, an official in the Vatican.[4]
