Noemi Tali

[1] Tali began learning how to skate as a child by attending public rink sessions for fun with her family.

Tali trained solely as a single skater until age 10, when her choreographer suggested she try ice dance, paired with her first skating partner, Stefano Frasca.

Tali and Lafornara agreed to team up for Italy in March 2023 after just two days of skating together, and made the decision to split their training between Tali's coaches, Valter Rizzo and Brunhilde Bianchi in Milan during the competitive season, and Lafornara's coaches, Denis Petukhov and Melissa Gregory in Connecticut during the off-season.

While the team did not receive a second JGP assignment, their success continued with podium placements at three international junior B events over the course of October and November.

At the 2024 Italian Figure Skating Championships in December, Tali/Lafornara took the junior dance title handily over Beatrice Ventura / Stefano Frasca and Vittoria Petracchi / Daniel Basile.
