The former ski lady's son is called Ettore - just like Chiara's father, who also enjoyed great success in the Ski World Cup. Even at the age of 81, he still skis regularly and even takes part in competitions.

Italy's last slalom winner
In contrast to Chiara - she ended her career five years ago. The slalom specialist took her only World Cup victory in Lienz in 2007. Costazza is still the last Italian to win a slalom. In total, she finished in the top 10 33 times.
