Biography

Born in Bressanvido, Muraro comes from an athletic family: her father, Lorenzo, was a 400 metres hurdler and serves as her coach, while her mother, Anna Beggio, was a 400 metres sprinter, and her younger sister, Mariasole, has also represented Italy at youth level. After initially practicing rhythmic gymnastics, she took up athletics, competing in combined events and sprint hurdles before focusing primarily on the 400 metres hurdles in 2021.

She won the gold medal in the 400 m hurdles at the 2023 Summer World University Games in Chengdu with a time of 55.48 seconds, successfully defending her title at the 2025 Games in Rhine-Ruhr. Later that year, she set a personal best of 54.36 seconds in the heats of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, becoming the second-fastest Italian woman in history in the event.

She holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and a master's degree in business management and strategy from the University of Verona.

Muraro in 2021 reached the semifinal on the 400 m hs at the 2021 European Athletics U23 Championships. She is among the Italian national athletics team's squad members for the 2026 Mediterranean Games.
