“I have always admired Giulia Martinengo Marquet – Maria Anchisi said – and not only for her refined technique, for the elegance of her style and for her fighting spirit in the ring. Giulia has a very high level of professionalism that she developed together with her husband Stefano Cesaretto, but also a careful management of her horses from the ground, under saddle and in the stables, according to the progression of their sports career, always respecting their well-being. This approach completely reflects the philosophy of Scuderia 1918.”
Giulia Martinengo Marquet is also really pleased: “I’m enthusiastic about this new partnership and I hope this is just the beginning of a long story. This project is the chance I never had before. It is a lifelong dream coming true!” the Italian rider said.
