Perspective
2016 Summer Olympics
Boari secured two qualification spots for her country in the final world qualification tournament for the 2016 Summer Olympics, delivering the shot that claimed victory over Chinese Taipei to give Italy a full Olympic berth of three archers. Boari was subsequently chosen as part of the Italian squad alongside fellow Olympic debutants Claudia Mandia and Guendalina Sartori in July 2016.[1]
At the Olympic Games the following month, Boari competed in the women's individual and women's team events. With teammates Mandia and Sartori, Boari successfully progressed to the semi-finals in the women's team competition, defeating the Brazilian and Chinese teams before losing to Russia. In the bronze medal match their opponents Chinese Taipei were too strong, and the Italian trio finished the competition in fourth place.[2] Boari was however much less successful in the individual tournament, and after placing seventh in the ranking round lost to Australia's Alice Ingley in the opening elimination round.[3]

In June 2018, Boari won gold medal in the women's individual event at the Mediterranean Games, defeating the Spain's Mónica Galisteo Cruz in the final.[4] The following year she competed in the European Games, where in the women's individual event she achieved the sixth seed in the 72-arrow ranking round before advancing through the elimination rounds to the gold medal final. She was defeated in the final by compatriot Tatiana Andreoli, earning the silver medal as runner-up.[5]
2020 Summer Olympics
In 2021, she won the bronze medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in the women's individual event.[6] At the same time, she came out as lesbian, revealing that Dutch archer Sanne de Laat is her girlfriend.[7]
