Career

Early years

Francesco Fioretti began skating at age seven in Milan and chose ice dancing immediately.[1] He relocated to Zanica in 2007.[1] In September 2008, he competed with Martina Montonati at a Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in Merano, Italy, placing 17th.[2]

Partnership with Sforza

In December 2008, Fioretti formed a partnership with Sofia Sforza, whom he had met in Zanica.[1][3] Making their international debut, they placed 11th in September 2009 at the Junior Grand Prix in Lake Placid, New York.[2] Sforza/Fioretti reached the free dance at three World Junior Championships, placing 20th in 2011 (Gangneung, South Korea), 10th in 2012 (Minsk, Belarus), and 13th in 2013 (Milan, Italy). Their best JGP result, fourth, came in the 2013–14 season, in Mexico City. The two were coached by Valter Rizzo and Brunilde Bianchi mainly in Zanica.[3][1] On 1 October 2013, it was reported that Sforza/Fioretti had parted ways.[4]

Partnership with Bonacorsi

Fioretti and Lauri Bonacorsi competed together at one event, the 2014 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, finishing tenth. The two were coached by Rizzo and Bianchi in Sesto San Giovanni.[5]

Partnership with Tessari

Fioretti and Jasmine Tessari debuted their partnership in September 2015 at the Lombardia Trophy, where they placed 9th.[6] They finished fourth at the Italian Championships.

Tessari/Fioretti won the bronze medal at the NRW Trophy in November 2016.
