Benedetta Glionna

Benedetta Glionna (born 26 July 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club AS Roma and the Italy women's national team.

[2] Glionna began her youth career with Fiammamonza in 2011 and was promoted to the senior team by the beginning of the 2013–2014 season due to the club's financial crisis and forced relegation to Serie C,[3] along with long-time teammate Sofia Cantore.

[3] By the summer of 2017, Glionna had scored at least 70 goals for Fiammamonza[4] and the prolific duo of Glionna-Cantore did not go unnoticed by newly formed Serie A giants Juventus, who signed both young Italian forwards for the 2017–2018 season.

Due to her injury problems and the increased competition in the Juventus senior squad,[9] Glionna was sent out on loan to Hellas Verona for the 2019–20 season along with Sofia Cantore.

Glionna's goalscoring grabbed the headlines on 31 January 2021, when the Italian forward scored a hat-trick (all from three direct free-kicks) against her parent-club Juventus in the first leg of a 5-4 Coppa Italia quarter-final loss for Empoli.
