Early career

Portesi Peroni competed for two seasons with Alessio Galli before forming a partnership with Czech-Slovene dancer Michael Chrastecky to represent her country.[2]

Portesi Peroni/Chrastecky made their Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2017 JGP Italy, where they placed tenth. They did not return to the Junior Grand Prix the following season, competing instead at several minor, junior internationals and winning the bronze medal at the Italian championships.[3]

2019–20 season

edit

Returning to the Junior Grand Prix, Portesi Peroni/Chrastecky placed seventh at 2019 JGP France and ninth at 2019 JGP Croatia. They won a bronze medal at the junior competition at Golden Spin and then took the gold at the Italian junior nationals for the first time. They concluded the season making their debut at the World Junior Championships, where they finished in seventeenth position.[3]

2020–21 season

edit

With the coronavirus pandemic causing the cancellation of the international junior season, Portesi Peroni/Chrastecky won their second consecutive Italian junior title.[3]

2021–22 season

edit

Making their international senior debut on the Challenger series, Portesi Peroni/Chrastecky placed eleventh on the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy. They next competed at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, seeking to qualify a second spot for Italy at the 2022 Winter Olympics. They placed eighth, making Italy the third reserve.[3]

On October 6, Portesi Peroni announced on her Instagram that she had ruptured her patellar tendon, requiring surgery and four months of recovery, ending their season.[4]

They were named to the host spot at the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia but later withdrew due to their injury.[5]
